      If I am understanding correctly, this study is saying that claims-rated-as-true have lower reach than claims-rated-as-false. Interesting and important but not quite grounds for knee-jerk LOL we're screwed reactions http://science.sciencemag.org/content/359/6380/1146.full …

      Re-upping this because seeing lots of kooky interpretations. What @CrashTheMod3, @dkroy, @sinanaral found — they'll correct me if I'm wrong — is that claims fact-checked "True" spread much less than claims fact-checked "False". The first is very different from *all* true news.

          This is not at all to reduce the importance of their study or the questions it raises about fact-checking and dissemination. But I wish more evidence made us more nuanced about a topic rather than more prone to moral panic

          (On an aside, I find that their definition of cascades was more detailed, clear and useful than any I've read to date and will probably have a lasting effect on literature in this space.)

          Coverage of this study really brought home a simmering concern of mine > We need to get better at covering studies about fake newshttps://www.poynter.org/news/we-need-get-better-covering-studies-about-fake-news …

          We should be drawing many small lessons about misinformation from these new studies. Instead, we are hammering our audiences with an inaccurate generalization — that fakery is rampant and undefeatable.https://www.poynter.org/news/we-need-get-better-covering-studies-about-fake-news …

          My question was the role the 13,000 student-evaluated stories had in the overall finding. That could be a broader draw. (Again, haven’t read all of the paper yet, so cautious.)

          Ah! Crossed tweets. I have the same question. But due respect for the students, 13,000 stories evaluated by non experts in a period of time many times smaller than the original sample I take as less central to the study's findings.

          could it also be the case that uncontested true news has a different sharing pattern? the study looked at retweet numbers. how about raw numbers of individual people sharing true news, not massively retweeted but widely & significantly surfaced?
