You can't handle the truth


Recommended Posts

Study proves that conservatives have an aversion to truth, and do their best to discredit the fact checkers.

"The data confirmed our hypothesis and revealed some sharp differences:

●  Liberal websites were far more likely to cite fact-checks to make their points than conservative sites were.

●  Conservative sites were much more likely to criticize fact-checks and to allege partisan bias.

● When student researchers categorized the tone of mentions, we found liberal sites made most of the positive references while the negative references came primarily from the right.

●  Conservative sites made the most critical comments about fact-checking, occasionally using quotation marks (“fact-checking”) to imply it wasn’t legitimate. One even likened a fact-checker to a Bangkok prostitute."

"The partisan divide was striking: 86 percent of the negative references appeared on conservative sites, while only 14 percent appeared on liberal sites. By contrast, almost 85 percent of the positive statements came from liberal sites, while 15 percent came from conservative sites. "

It's almost like they used the numbers from here.

The liberal media has been so accurate over the last 18 months. :lol:

Never in modern history has the media been so wrong on so many issues. From high powered clips on death ray guns to the economy going down the drain because of trump... it goes on and on...
