And even worse, gotchas like this "balance" the score.
Inaccuracy here: One Misinformation
"Jewish Space Lasers": One Misinformation

The muons they use aren't actually cosmic. But they are made when cosmic rays hit the upper atmosphere. Those muons then fall on the Earth in a constant shower.

The pyramids was part of a “global” Tesla system designed to bring clean electricity to everyone. Proof I have none.

People cannot get their heads out of their phones so I don't think anyone is going to read the print media anymore.
And also I don't think that the print media is any good they were feeding propaganda in the past and they continue to do so.

Well there a lot of theories around it about how the Corona virus happened.
And I used to remember when people were in one camp or the other they did not believe anyone else.

There is Miss information on the Facebook everyone knows about it but I don't understand who tells people to believe everything that they see on the Facebook?

There are ways to conduct the study but the problem is how you are going to bring people on a consensus.
Because people believe what they are seeing on the social media.

> Not sure how you can disagree, the terms themselves have to be subjective since they are, by definition, relative.
They are subjective to the degree that anything involving human society isn't objective, sure. And also if politics means anything, and it does, then it's measurable enough to study. Clearly.
Ask a boomer or a zoomer which is more right wing, the GOP or the Democratic party, and you will get the GOP being right wing well more than 99.9% of the time. More than enough precision for this sort of study.
>it will be a while before we get reliable information since
About what? :) We're talking about memes that were published before 2020. We have that data.
>I not saying there isn’t more conservative centric info on Fb,
OK but that's not the point. The point is the memes that were right wing had noticeably more disinformation, by 5 to 8 times.
>I know there is also a tendency to put all Covid misinformed into the right/Republican bucket whatever the source.
OK, but that's also not what happened in this study.
>It wasn’t until post 2020 election that it really polarized that questioning the status quo on Covid was considered right wing.
No, that's not accurate. Conservative misinformation about vaccines started in 2019. Mid-year at the latest.

>“Vaccinations can have serious side effects that cause more harm than some of the diseases that they are supposed to prevent.”
That's technically true. The COVID-19 vaccines could very rarely cause GBS, anaphylaxis, and dangerous blood clots, all of which are more dangerous than COVID-19 for the typical person.
Cost-benefit analysis heavily favored getting vaccinated, of course, but that's a very badly designed survey question.
