“Researchers”

Got it. 👌

[ConservativeMind]

Every shared article on so many, now disproven, situations the Media pushed were all disinformation, while the opposing side had the only truth.

Fact check: "...based on the falsity scores..." False.

Correction: "...based on the alleged falsity scores..."

[rktman]

One man’s lie is another man’s truth. Who makes the call of who is the arbiter? All the “mis/dis/mal-information” about CONvid 19 and the SCAMdemic sure seems to have proven correct. Sure feel blessed to having never bought in to it. 🔬🤔😵🚫😷💉🐎💩

Wow!

They have it exactly 180 degrees backward.

So, the tool can be used to see how much penetration the uncontrolled media has.

Lemme guess... the fsct checkers who wrote the program are rabid liberals?

[Migraine]

Saw the word “Politifacts” and stopped reading. Glad it came up a few sentences in.

"This observation connects to research suggesting that political leaders' rhetoric can drive the beliefs and policy positions of their followers rather than the leaders responding to the attitudes held by their constituents," said Dr. Mosleh.

This has only been known for 4000 years, with significant affirmation for the last 100 years.

Tools have developed a new biased filter bot to measure Twitter users’ exposure to misinformation from political elites.

[wintertime]

“...falsely claimed..”.......Really? ( with eye roll)

[Navy Patriot]

Researchers

"Researchers", an easy to remember, new term for Prog Socialist Democrat Dictators/GloboHomoNazis/WEF Depopulation Genocide By Biological and Thermonuclear Weapons.

[ComputerGuy]

Show me the code.

[DaxtonBrown]

Politifacts = GIGO

[Openurmind]

How about lies and misinformation from the globalist cabal?

[AndyTheBear]

PolitiFact in, PolitiFact out.

Misinformation tool measures exposure to false claims by political elites

[Mr.Unique]

A study recently published in Nature Communications used the Politifacts fact-checking database to calculate a "falsity score"

GIGO

[Mr.Unique]

They then assigned Twitter users an "elite misinformation exposure" score, based on the falsity scores of the political elites they follow on Twitter.

How on earth did this make it through peer review?

Following someone on Twitter doesn't mean that you read any of their Tweets. In fact, my feed is full of people that I don't follow. Even after I mute them.

[NorthMountain]

Politifacts fact-checking database

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHahahahahahahahahaha!!!!

Yeah.

Right.

Might as well use the piles in the cow pasture as a reference.

[Wuli]

Using Politifacts as the basis for scoring anything as “misinformation” destroys any political independence of the resulting “research”. The study - and the resulting “tool” it created - became politically biased by its sole source of “truth”.
