Basically whoever gets to labels what's harmful misinformation and what is a legitimate dissenting voice is the source of bias. Everything else is noise. The study is a great example of that noise. Zoom away from the polarizing US "current thing" BS politics and it becomes even clearer. Things like ESG, Nuclear energy, Middle Eastern conflicts, religious freedoms, criticizing China, etc. The world is mostly gray, and whoever sets the boundaries of good/bad is king (that's why Media is valuable to billionaires and dictators).

> whoever gets to labels what's harmful misinformation and what is a legitimate dissenting voice is the source of bias "misinformation" is the cleverest weapon against free speech in a while, despite being an old trick. It lets people support censorship while feeling like they're just opposing something evil. Catholic Europe said "heresy" or "blasphemy", McCarthyist USA said "communist", Islamic societies said "haram", secular dictatorships said "degenerate", etc etc.
