>> But the far right and far left media ecosystems are "fundamentally different," Edelson said, with 40% of the media sources cited on the far right actively spreading false information. In other corners of the media ecosystem and other partisan groups, this number doesn't go above 10%.
how are they quantifying this? Or is there link to other sources on this?
- skinkestek 5y agoDon't be surprised if it is quantified the same way as the "ER filled with people overdosed on Ivermectin", i.e. by pulling the facts out of thin air.
- pc86 5y agoUnless you actually have evidence this is the case (other than your own personal bias), this is a completely unhelpful comment. Presumably the study's methodology is documented somewhere, it just may not be published yet.
- skinkestek 5y agoMy methodology is well known: it is an educated guess. And no, I still think Western civilization including the press is pretty nifty compared to the alternatives, I just try to apply some pressure to get it to self correct.
- jsuqo 5y agoThey are probably quantifying it using """independent""" fact checkers.
