Based on the examples they gave in the news report, it appears their motivation is partisan. So they intentionally pick one party line to conduct a “research” on “disinformation”. What exactly do they want to know from this “research”?

- robocat 5y agoYes, the Grauniad (Guardian misspelled - long running British insider joke) is left wing. The researchers writing the article are from New York University, and we are presuming the researchers are left wing too. So what? Your implied alternatives are: * Only allow politically neutral science (impossible for any subject containing politics) * Only allow right wing science? * Disallow all scientific study of politically charged topics?
- temp8964 5y agoWhat do you mean "allow" or "disallow"? It is common sense for scientific purpose, limiting your research subjects to one political group will lead to biased/distorted/misleading results, unless the purpose of the "research" is non-scientific but simply partisan hack.
