Update: The DNC, Donna Brazile and that Bernie Sanders bullshit

So, um, remember how Donna Brazile supposedly had that BOMBSHELL!!!! about how the DNC rigged everything against He-Who-Walks-On-Bongwater, Bernie Sanders?  In my Saturday post, I wrote this, calling bullshit on the everything-was-rigged argument.  Yesterday, on one of those pointless Sunday talk shows, Brazile herself said that nothing was "rigged".  Bit late for that now.  Once you get the Bernie people going, it's kind of like the vaccines-cause-autism bullshit.  They hear it, it feeds a pre-existing paranoia, and the false belief can never be corrected.

Brendan Nyhan at Dartmouth has done a bunch of fantastic, but depressing research on our collective inability to correct false beliefs...
