  • I read the research paper and went through the questions.

    More republicans correctly labelled 4/10 false headlines. More Democrats in 6/10 headlines.
    More republicans correctly labelled 2/10 true headlines. More democrats in 8/10 headlines.

    Young people in general labelled true headlines as false showing larger mistrust of media.

    Most people who say they use the AP as a news source (55%) land in the highest-scoring category.

    People who get their news from National Public Radio, Axios, HuffPost, and PBS are more likely than consumers of most other outlets to be in the highest-scoring group. Consumers of MSNBC, The Hill, Reuters, Politico, and the Washington Post also do comparatively well on the test.
    worst performers generally are social media platforms. That includes Snapchat (53% of people who get news from it land in the lowest-scoring category), Truth Social (45%), WhatsApp (44%), TikTok (41%), and Instagram (38%).

    The BI headline is clickbait which is to be expected from a ‘news source’ where company partners collaborate with journalists for ‘leak’ in order to undermine other partners for promotion.
