You clearly didn’t fully read it then, dear. From the abstract:
“The most robust predictors of the bias were participants’ belief in the relative objectivity of their political side, extreme views about Trump, and the extent of their one-sided media consumption.”
The “extreme views on Trump” metric is defined on p. 2530 and 2532:
“Higher scores on this composite measure thus reflected more extreme partisan views about Trump, whether participants supported or opposed him”
“These items included the extent to which they thought Trump was evil, terrible, a moron, a genius, a hero, a saint…”
Which means, “extreme views on Trump” doesn’t just mean “(extreme) Trump supporters”, but also “(extreme) Trump detractors”. Sound familiar?
Would love to see how Ruben (or one of his superfans i.e. you, dear reader) would perform on the fake headline task from Schwalbe et al – When Politics Trumps Truth. I mean, what could be a better slogan for this comment section than “objectivity illusion”.
At this point, Ruben’s fabulous fashism fantasies are practically indistinguishable from the right’s QAnon delusions. That’s the real damage Trump has done: the left has become just as deranged as the right.
Spot on! I mean, the NYT is obviously the most non-partisan newspaper out there, and should be ridiculed for not taking sides and succumbing to “bothsidesism”.
(caveat lector: under no circumstances look at the AllSides Media Bias Chart, a shoddy piece of hyperpartisan media analysis)
You’re using dwg wrong, and you’re straight up body shaming, but the 8 likes on your comment show the peanut gallery in here is fine with cluelessness and hypocrisy, so carry on!
