Far-right populists much more likely than the left to spread fake news – study
Amplifying misinformation is now part of radical right strategy, says Dutch study of tweets by MPs in 26 countries
Uh, I thought that was already made clear when Facebook decided they needed to remove fact checking in order for right wing voices to be heard. For anyone without functional ears and eyes and brains to have been able to see how these people operate long before, that is.
Unfortunately they’ll lie and say this study is a lie.
I'm shocked, shocked!
And this is why they're absolutely winning. Why are they dominating the entire media landscape and are we just sitting back? Is it only because an average lie is easier to believe in than the difficult truth? Or should we become more angry at them?
I don’t know. I’ve heard leftists (mostly communists) espouse that fighting fire with fire and just outright lying at the same level they do would be beneficial to the cause, but that just feels wrong to me and I feel like it wouldn’t work anyways for some reason.
No study necessary.
