They acknowledge all of the methodological stuff towards the end. The NYT itself didn't conduct the research and they compared to the results of similar surveys and it was consistent. How desperate are some people to minimise this stuff?
- IronKettle 9y agoWell, except all the similar surveys were also self-reported as far as I can tell. It's worth noting the social desirability bias here. It's likely the problem is actually much worse than the study indicates.
- weberc2 9y agoA lot of people are legitimately skeptical of the Times and other outlets reporting on social/political topics. Both the social sciences and journalists skew hard to the left, so content like this is very often biased (and incorrect as a result). Skepticism seems like a valid response; arguably more so than blind faith.
