>Science has discovered the reason for modern political polarization, and it’s not Soros. Trump supporters simply do not live in consensus reality, a University of Oxford study has found. >The study, from the university’s computational propaganda project, focused on the sharing of junky news sites on Twitter and Facebook in the three months leading up to Donald Trump’s first State of the Union address, and concluded that 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 featuring low-quality, extremist, sensationalist or conspiratorial articles — in other words the very fake news Trump supporters loudly claim to hate.

>in other words the very fake news Trump supporters loudly claim to hate. Ah yes as opposed to the anti-trump voters. You've clearly figured out Trump's win.
I saw this on the BBC and thought you should see it:
>"On the left if you're consuming fake news you're 34 times more likely than the general population to be a college graduate," says Green.
Bit more troubling.

During his studies at Tech, he started doing research related to social media and computational propaganda. He is currently a PhD student in Sociology at the Corvinus University of Budapest where his research focuses on the automation of social media accounts, including the development of open-source bots, and their deployment on Twitter and other social media platforms. In the COMPROP project at the Oxford Internet Institute, Bence is responsible for collecting and analyzing Tweets during the Brexit voting and the recent referendum on the EU migrant quotas in Hungary as well as several events in the ongoing US election season

Her previous research has focused on propaganda, social bots and fake news—in its relation to the evolving digital media ecosystem. Lisa-Maria holds a MSc in Social Science of the Internet from the University of Oxford and a BA in Communication Science from the Ludwig-Maxmilians-University in Munich. Selected as a Fulbright scholar, she previously studied at the Georgetown University in Washington DC and the National University of Singapore. She has led the project’s research on Germany and has presented her work at the European Comission, MisinfoCon, and re:publica.
leftist academics find results they probably believed before they wrote their abstract
Amefricans have that bag habit of making arguments based on faith. Their postulate is their conclusion. Left, right, extreme or moderate it doesn't matter. Some centrists are above the top but are still quite polarized.

Dumb political opposition listening to opposition news. If they listened to mainstream government controlled news they would have much more mainstream pro-government opinions! Very dumb.

I would have voted for trump because every time my friend tells me something about him it makes me laugh. So absurd. I don’t watch the news and I simply don’t care. Politics is the biggest fake news out there. Why should anybody give a fuck about a stupid puppet show?

So essentially "junk news" was anything they didn't personally like.
How scientific.

what do you consider to be adequate standards of 'real news', and examples of media outlets that adhere to them?

For the past 2 weeks it seems like we’ve been under attack by some sort of r/thedonald invasion. I don’t know where they’re all coming from.
