        "We find that there is a negative correlation between being female and the overall, and individual, correct answers to CRT questions" Does this also mean that females are more prone to this uncritical clustering?https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S2214804319301569 …

        It is a big gap: None correct (female OR:1.66), All correct (female OR:0.5)

        THAT earns a follow! Building a news discussion platform that can quantify critical thinking (in lots of ways). This will be helpful. Thx.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9si1GoyawbY …

        Also MSNBC (home of the Russia hoaxers) is considered a lot more trustworthy than Fox (home of the MAGAboomers)?

        I cannot say I am familiar with Poynter - but I am ever more skeptical of journalistic outfits and regulatory bodies that rely on peer review like systems. https://www.poynter.org/ifcn/ pic.twitter.com/P22BxNoLsZ
