I always like the "they're both the same" people who say things like, "they would oppress queer people too if they had the power!" And then you point out that they did have the power and didn't do anything near to the level the right does and they just shoo you away like a fly.

"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

I'm not sure whether that difference is statistically significant though since there are only a couple of left sources included.
