It's revealing that Yudhijit Bhattacharjee is also a writer for AAAS an organization that has betrayed it's readers by publishing the pseudo-science of Global warming and actively lobbying subscribers to join the non-scientific "consensus".

Key paragraph of disinfo from "Why We Lie"
"Researchers have shown that we are especially prone to accepting lies that affirm our worldview. Memes that claim Obama was not born in the United States, deny climate change, accuse the U.S. government of masterminding the terrorist strikes of September 11, 2001, and spread other “alternative facts,” as a Trump adviser called his Inauguration crowd claims, have thrived on the Internet and social media because of this vulnerability. Debunking them does not demolish their power, because people assess the evidence presented to them through a framework of preexisting beliefs and prejudices, says George Lakoff, a cognitive linguist at the University of California, Berkeley. “If a fact comes in that doesn’t fit into your frame, you’ll either not notice it, or ignore it, or ridicule it, or be puzzled by it—or attack it if it’s threatening.”

Bhattacharjee also characterizes anyone who promotes these "theories" as Trump supporters and subscribers to alt-right facts.
