First, here is what really bothers them: Tweets about the Israel-Hamas war from these accounts outperformed popular news accounts belonging to CNN, The New York Times, the BBC and Reuters, despite having far fewer followers, according to the research

Second, it should be noted that Brandy Zadrozny is an anti-Republican doxxing hack posing as an honest “misinformation” expert.

7 influential accounts are warping Israel-Hamas news on X...

Rsuh always said Twitter was a sewer dominated by bots. Is X any different? Take anything from there with a large grain of salt.

My husband and I met in a Williamsburg bar. I took him home 20 minutes later 
and despite my best efforts to get rid of him the next morning, 
we were married less than a year later! 

Isn’t love amazing like that?

Wow…

This is something of which to be proud?

In decent society, that’d be something you’d never tell a soul.

No one with above journalist IQ (which means most of us) believes the lamestream media anymore. Shove it, shove it often, NBC. None of your clowns would qualify to be a janitor for Musk.

NewsGuard is NOT nonpartisan so the author must be a moron.

Let me guess, the NeverTrumpers are mad that that these accounts are holding Hamas accountable for chopping off the heads of Jewish babies.

The most popular posts were often emotionally charged, including footage of the attacks and airstrikes as well as graphic photos and videos of the injured and dead.

Oh my goodness, the author is outraged that these posts actually post real news.

“You can be in favor of the Second Amendment and also understand that there is no reason in a civil society that we have assault weapons around communities that can kill babies and police officers," said Kamala Harris.

“You can be in favor of the First Amendment and also understand that there is no reason in a civil society that we have internet connections around communities that can lead to ‘misinformation’ that will kill babies and police officers," Kamala Harris re-imagined.

...in other news...

One leftist, homo loving church member is polluting with zeeperspampropaganda.

It happens, even on conservative news and discussion forums.

There’s possibly something to the focus of this study, but if the counterargument is to rely upon CNN, ABC, CBS, they can KMA.

I’m already at the point where I don’t trust one single thing reported by mainstream news. Not one single thing. They could tell me their offices opened at 7 am that day and/or the copy machine repair guy came in about 11 am and I wouldn’t believe it.

The researchers said that changes made by Musk to X had pushed the platform in a new BETTER direction.

FIFY

The new work adds data to a swell of recent anecdotal accounts from researchers, academics and journalists who have noted a change for the worse BETTER in the way news and information moves and is incentivized on Twitter over the last year, especially since the start of the Israel-Hamas crisis.

FIFY

IOW, researchers, academics and journalists don't like that Twitter/X is doing a better job of reporting the news/facts than they are.
