    Ars Technica: Distraction, not partisanship, drives sharing of misinformation

    "Putting it in concrete terms, the authors look at the false headline "Over 500 'Migrant Caravaners' arrested with suicide vests." Only 16 percent of the conservatives in the survey population rated it as true. But over half of them were amenable to sharing it on social media."

    • DAMN. I have anecdotal evidence of this. The conservatives in my life fully do this and have no shame about it.nb
    • I'll challenge them and they'll actually say like "yeah I know it's not true but it's a good argument. Gotta keep libs on their toes." etc etc etcnb
    • People share shit just to get likes....Salarrue
