"A 2021 study by the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences reported on by CNN concluded that three out of four Americans currently overestimate; their ability to correctly identify fake news. The study team leader Ben Lyons concluded 'In all, these results paint a worrying picture: The individuals who are least; equipped to identify false news content are also the least aware of their own limitations and, therefore, more susceptible to believing it and spreading it; further.' According to the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences study, Republicans are more likely to get tricked by fake news than Democrats are. One reason for this difference is overconfidence. Republicans overestimate their ability to identify misinformation more than Democrats. Another reason; for the discrepancy between political affiliations is that Republicans have a lower bar for media sources they will trust."; In other words, the average GOPer is clinically more gullible than the average Democrat... of course, that's no surprise to anyone who's been spectating the political arena for the last decade. I mean, if you'll fall for a fairytale about a dead-beat, beardy sky-daddy who lazy-parenting scapegoat nailed one kid to a stick while the rest of his lousy brood got a free pass...
