Far-right populists much more likely than the left to spread fake news – study
-
-
"More likely" would imply frequency of false information to overall tweets. Which would be split by political leaning already. The numbers of each side wouldn't matter much in that case

Not really, you take all those politicians, divide them in categories (left, center, right, populist or not) and check the % of lies per tweets for each category.
-
I'm not sure whether that difference is statistically significant though since there are only a couple of left sources included.

BREAKING: Liberal media is closer to mean.

What's the fit?
-
Fake news spread includes "both sides are the same"
-
"Study finds that water is wet."

Ah! In my scanning I missed the "adjusted by country mean" but yeah, you're totally correct.

-
Let's be honest. No one, outside of acedemics, really cared about information and the right is happy to manufacture their own.
-
Left will rather lose to fascists than do populism.
-
I too have watched republican debates.
-
A more important issue is not "fake news" but rather highly biased and tightly framed news that purports to be neutral. This is completely normalized and widespread in the imperial core, especially among both flavors of politicians.

That's only true in a general sense. Regardless a key component of "doing science" is to reproduce the results of others.
