      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.)

      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 …

          Quantifying fake news, fake engagement, accounts, manipulation etc has been so so slow. Everyone has a hot take and everyone wants an attention grabbing headline. I mean it is hard, but you are right the reporting & reports are far from clear.

          I suggest @pbsnewshour as the best source for news via TV. Its a dispassionate old school down the middle news show.

          Depends on who you mean by "we". Journalism is just one area affected by (and studying) misinformation. Other groups are also understanding and building mitigations for this, my own industry (adtech) included.

          Probably doesn’t help that the headlines you mention are echoing the header on the study summary that appeared in Science: “Lies spread faster than the truth.”pic.twitter.com/IDwlUWZ4m5

          Did you notice @Mantzarlis the other small lesson that has drawn little attention: overwhelming agreement (>=95%) between the six fact-checkers when evaluating the same Twitter claim.

          I _did_ notice that. Decided not to highlight any other interesting findings to focus on this misconception but thanks for flagging!

          Week behind – But, I can't help wondering if this conflates fact-checks, which examine specific claims made by people, and the debunking of whole news stories/ news sources. Likely related, but I think there might be important distinctions to the audience.
