"We tend to apply lower standards of evidence to information that confirms our predispositions," said Brendan Nyhan, assistant professor of government at Dartmouth College. "What that means in practice is people seize onto these online nuggets that confirm what they believe.

"They're certainly unlikely to seek out information to see if it's true."

Yet research shows that even if confronted with a correction to false information, it won't change people's minds, he said."

So how did it work out for your Eastern European fairy tales, Lemon?....
