I de senere år har politisk misinformation, populært kaldet fake news, nydt stor bevågenhed. Det rejser spørgsmålet, hvorvidt denne opmærksomhed i sig selv påvirker, hvordan borgere reagerer på politiske nyheder. Vi adresserer dette spørgsmål ved først at udvikle teoretiske forventninger om, hvordan opmærksomhed på politisk misinformation påvirker borgeres modtagelighed over for politisk information. Vi tester disse teoretiske forventninger i et præregistreret surveyeksperiment, som vi udfører i samarbejde med et dansk nyhedsmedie. Resultaterne viser, modsat den teoretiske forventning, at respondenter, der eksperimentelt gøres opmærksom på fake news som fænomen, ikke efterfølgende er mindre modtagelige over for politisk information. Dette resultat indikerer, at medier kan dække politisk misinformation som fænomen uden væsentlig risiko for, at denne debat i sig selv undergraver tillid til medier og politikere.
