How come Sup Forums is unique among political groups in that the majority of the news it reads is fake or scientifically found to be junk?
The University of Oxford has used science to determine that you have no connection to reality. 12 scientists familiar with US politics were asked to classify news sources as phony or real and a subsequent analysis of the kinds of links Sup Forums shares on social networks reveals that you are sharing, reading and thinking about fake news more than real news.
>the majority (55%) of news shared and consumed by Trump supporters is fake
Please keep in mind the database of officially fake news sources also included democrat sites, so there's no issue with bias. This is science and it's time for us to reflect and make a change.
They used science and a team of highly trained University of Oxford researchers to classify sites as "junk" based on several fake/trash factors.

Science makes people who live in fantasyland very uncomfortable, yes. But confronting this head on is the only way to heal.
Austin Parker
They considered CNN and TYT to be “authentic” news sources. This study is horseshit
Jack Hall
I'm sorry science didn't give you the finding you wanted in this case, this proves science is fake and a jooish conspiracy inside our intellectualized heads we r smarties.

Ah yes, ask some random scientists to define something that is bias in nature. Makes perfect sense. You are aware that EVERY news outlet is bias right? Both the Left and the Right have biases in their respective media outlets. Why? Because they are there to make money, and Echo chambers make more money then actually telling the whole, and total truth. Also Fake News includes things like shitty, unrealistic "polls" and "Studies" that you see everywhere, such as "78% of Americans agree that X is better then Y". It's all fake and bias to some degree you fucking cancer.

"the majority (55%) of news shared and consumed by Trump supporters falls into its “junk news” category. Junk news was defined as coming from sites associated with low-quality, extremist, sensationalist or conspiratorial content"
Stopped reading here. This is a baseless claim. Anything can be considered "extremist" or "conspiratorial" to anyone with a political standing. Your study is faulty,

Not being replicable. Not based on objective standards. Being intentionally uncharitable. Most journalists are leftists, therefore any dissidant journalists will have to either join a dissident news organization or have to create a news organization of their own. Ultimately, said dissident or start up news organizations won’t have the resources to perfectly fact check everything they say or won’t, unlike the entrenched news organizations, be able to establish themselves and make mistakes without the internet bombarding them with criticism. Entrenched news organizations had an opportunity to do what no start up news organizations can even try to accomplish in today’s day and age; they could make mistakes without being held responsible.

Joseph Young
This is false and the data set is available.
Your other statements are lies as well. An established news source faces much harsher scrutiny and outrage when they mess up.
The difference between established media and right-wing "media" is the former retract stories they get wrong and frequently fire or reprimand the writers involved. On the right they instead go deeper down a conspiracy theory hole and become legends. "Oh, so you're saying fact X is wrong? You're just a jewish shill agent sent from the martian child sex colonies."
Brandon Miller
This is completely retarded. They included something like "pastebin.com" in this "study"? What the fuck is wrong with you? Why are you posting this shill shit and shitting up this board?
Another thing:
Drudge is nothing but a news feed. The ONLY original thing on his ONE page is his headlines. Guy is fucking brilliant!
Breitbart and INFOwars do very little original reporting of their own. They use original source reporting and "make" their own story based on it.
Try harder next time, Shlomo.

George Zimmerman isn't white Michael Brown wasn't a good boy Dallas cop killer/blm Hillary Clinton actually broke the law Donna Brazille (LOL CNN OOPS) Trump isn't actually Hitler Etc etc etc All of these and policies in immigration, housing, business funding, academics funding, and more All of which are anti native, anti white and anti US.

>outsiders are nonbelievers >I'm the sole arbiter of what's true and fake >give me money & all your dreams will come true
A better approach would be to give them so much cognitive dissonance that it reprograms them, or they have a stroke.
Oliver Peterson
>tl;dr politics have nothing to do with intelligence Actually, scientific studies find that Trump supporters have much lower IQ than democrats.
Wanna do battle, you science denying schmuck? I can cite dozens of independent studies saying this and you can find nothing to the contrary.
Sebastian Ramirez
Why are most your comments appealing to how great “science” is unironically without any regard for what truly makes science great? It’s almost like you are trying to appeal to authority without knowing any possible problems with science. People can have problems with the methodology of a particular paper without disregarding science as a whole. Not all sciences are made equally. Statistically, it is true that most journalists are left wing. Additionally, it is also true that, when many of these entrenched news organizations first established themselves, information could not be fact checked as quickly or easily. I didn’t even claim what you are saying I did. Some right wing news organizations do issue retractions, some mainstream media organizations do not necessarily do honest retractions. They will include a line at the end of the article suggesting some of the facts are questionable; however, a decent chunk of people don’t read all that far down. More importantly, inconvenient facts are often buried in long diatribes. Did you even read the spreadsheet of news organizations? They are all right wing and some are considered somewhat reputable like the National Review or innocuous like campusreform. Why just cast them off entirely without exceed using any degree of nuance?
David Phillips
I agree with you, but it doesn't matter. People don't need facts or studies to vote. 2016 proved that.
You'll get better results with logic bombs like pic related. It's guaranteed to shut down a redpill thread, every time. We're forced to choose between hating jews and sucking orange cock.

Stop LYING and calling for science to be censored then and we can discuss trivia like a random dumbshits thinking Drudge can't be listed as a phony news source for being the editor of a link list but actually he editorializes with headlines and links to several phony news sites so the trump supporter is objectively wrong again as always.

You didn't follow the sticky. Each fallacious shitpost you respond with is bannable but it serves as an inspiration for the ways that no one should ever choose to be, so it's a net positive for the board.
I'll give ya a couple weeks to search every term I used that you don't understand, maybe someday it'll dawn on you that you're a trisomy 21 victim. But, inevitably when that day never comes we can take solace in the fact that some nigger will probably kill you before you turn 30.
