On this subject, Musk tweeted this about social security. He will go after it
@elonmusk
Just learned that the social security database is not de-duplicated, meaning you can have the same SSN many times over, which further enables MASSIVE FRAUD!!
Your tax dollars are being stolen.

No kidding! Didn't need research. Fox News plus watchers eat up and repost every lie out there. My favourite is Jan.6 just a lovely tourist day, as the rest of the world watched in horror at what was transpiring in real time.
If the Media never used "Fake News" and used the original Nazi german term ("Lugenpresse"), I think a lot more people would have caught the parallels a lot sooner.
I'd disagree but only on a technicality.
Far-right populists have been much more likely to have their rhetoric repeated word for word by legacy media than left or center political points.
We've seen the imbalance in social media where the legacy media's influence has less effect.
Excuse me? You are seeking evidence online of legacy media bias to the right of the political spectrum? This seems a strange request from someone ostensibly using social media which is rife with such examples. How about you use the search feature first?
After some googling and reading, I found a few sites that provide bias ratings. The worst I found was Allsides dot com. I just don't like their choices.
Another is a Research Guide for students at Harvard University Library.
That sounds promising.
Just remember follow multiple separate sources.
While I like this website, I do feel it needs updating, specifically with how some media has shaded themselves to suit the current administration. Like all things you read what is reported & then gauge any support for that reporting. Are the arguments of comments useful as a guide?
I'm so desperately sorry to have caused such egregious offence. The post to which you responded quotes an evidenced study. I was hoping that you could also cite such a report for your remarks. We can't just rely on generalised "awareness" to make a convincing argument. However, I humbly apologise.
I find your wording strange, but there isn't any offence. Also an attributed study isn't an end to the discussion. As I originally stated I agreed but my additional opinion within that argument is balanced with realtime observation online of legacy media sometimes megaphoning rightwing rhetoric.
I think you are right, but my opinion and yours are.impressionistic unless backed up with verified figures. The site you recommended doesnt speak to the specifics of your point about unedited use of press releases.
Left leaning people want to bring in policies that will improve lives and situations with a touch of empathy & compassion. Right want to advance the needs of business and money making above all else.
FFS - We've seen this.
What next?
Are you going to reveal that they also suppress news?
Like the weekend ~2yrs ago when none of the UK broadcasters mentioned the 4 huge protests in London over the bank holiday weekend.
It’s a primary way of getting support. It replaces facts and needs with lies and false analysis. People driven by emotion usually have more enthusiasm in supporting political positions that favor the rich, not them. And Trump was elected, twice.
Spot on lived in a country where people slaughtered each other because of politicians stirring their emotions. Took a painful 30 years for decent men like John Hume to exert common sense.
The article fails to identify "disinformation," and distinguish it from "misinformation." Misinformation is inaccurate information, which is typically spread by those who are watching and reading these "alternative" media sources. Disinformation is the intentional spread of false information.
Well there is a big surprise NOT. They are using a flood the zone technique filling up all the space with hatred and lies. They are not even hiding it anymore thanks to Musk and the rest of his Fascist Tech Broligarchy.
When the far right puts faith ahead of facts, lies are bound to happen. The left is not perfect by any stretch, but science and reason trumps blind belief. That's NOT an opinion. We can verify gravity and radiology and microbes. We can't prove any of the one true gods. *shrug* It is what it is.
Let me be clear on my previous statement about science vs faith. We can't SEE gravity or radiology or micro-biology but we CAN prove these things are REAL. Once religious fanatics are able to scientifically prove the existence of their god & all that entails, then and only then can we meet halfway.
Both right & left extremism are EXTREMELY TOXIC AND HARMFUL for society! So, the authorities need to FIMD EFFECTIVE WAYS TO 'BAN' THEM IF THEY CANNOT FIND QUICK WAYS TO END THEM SPREAD INSTEAD OF 'STUPIDLY' OBSERVING 'HOW FAST' EACH OTHER SPREAD AMONGST THE "ILLITERATE" LIKE COWS WATCHING A TRAIN!!
It was so disgusting how she pandered to DT and Musk. She wants to build an excellent friendship with DT, defense spending must be increased to 3% immediately (as DT wants). DT and his cronies want to unite fascism around the world. They are all disgusting.
In Germany, the candidates for chancellor are allowed to appear on TV and say what they want to change. Alice Weidel from the right-wing AfD couldn't tell everyone quickly enough yesterday what she wants to do in Germany, just like DT and Musk. The AfD is a copy of the DT-GOP.
Glad to see the phrase “rightwing populists”. Too often the talk is just about “populists” as though this problem isn’t all coming from one side of the spectrum. Leftwing populists? Where? They’re hardly a presence in the political landscape and certainly don’t have much influence.
I’ve noticed this on an app I use called ground news that articles with “left bias” often have high-very high accuracy where has “right bias” labeled articles are low-mixed accuracy
When your platform offers nothing but hardship for your constituents, lies and conspiracies keep them from realizing that the party they follow is the reason for their hardship, not all the “others” they’ve been conditioned to hate.
No shit? Because they're dumb as shit and anti education.
It's predicated on the fact that they tend to be less intelligent, so they're susceptible to the propaganda and fake news that filters out left leaning people that know how to look for reputable sources.

We don’t need to and shouldn’t adopt *their* language in those ways.
But then again, you’re The Guardian, a known transphobic rag. You’re used to that by now.

In breaking news the sky is blue.
Your next report is on how lead sinks when placed in water?
Because the Left doesn't NEED to spread fake news. Because WE'RE RIGHT.
@fdpbt.de
they slept wirh nazis and should be abolished.
@cnn.com @nbcnews.com @abcnetwork.bsky.social @cbsnews.com
Dumb people hate smart people for no reason.
Just chase those idiots off our internet.
🙄
It was their “leader” coins, the phrase, fake news as an intentional move to be able to call out anything that didn’t serve his purpose “fake news”
Exactly what we've been screaming from the rooftops for decades now.
Ever since Saint Reagan spewed his bullshit about trickle down.
It's been 40 fucking years I'm still waiting for that trickle to hit my pocket.
How about you?

Was this even up for debate?
Serial killers .. much more likely to kill.
Pedophiles much more likely to seek out kids
Facists much more likely to be facist in their day-to-day routines.
