    This seems so surprising that it would be worth investigating further.https://twitter.com/robkhenderson/status/1195747631970037760 …

    "Overall, we do not find evidence that social media explains support for right-wing populism. In the USA, use of online media decreases support for right-wing populism..Surprisingly, the locus of populist echo chamber effects is people’s offline networks" https://academic.macewan.ca/bouliannes/files/2019/09/NMS_FINAL_March2019all.pdf … pic.twitter.com/bmIuS1HBBp

        Wait, so the news media was consistently reporting falsely exaggerated issues that conveniently fit their narrative?pic.twitter.com/roAUL9nibi

        Sample size of less than 1500 people in US, 1/3 of which don’t have Twitter. It would be more interesting to see social media consumption of individuals that consider them selves populist vs non-populist individuals.

        I don't find this surprising at all, it coincides what I would expect based on the demographics that use social media the most.

        why do you find it surprising? mainstream media seems to be quite left wing these days, no? because it is much more regulated.

        Replying to @paulg @robkhenderson

        After reading I would ask if 1500 people is enough and if we compare answers to that of say 2016 polling (ie wildly inaccurate) can we trust the answers that the test subjects are offering? Would also have address known principles of behavior modification via exposure...

        ...The entire paid ad network thesis is based on behavior modification via exposure to money amplified narratives over organic conversation narratives. Social media paid ads given their sheer prevalence of spend must therefore also be examined before conclusions.

        Could be that social media provides the content echoed in offline networking?

        I think we all can debunk this from personal experiences and data points , which is dangerous given collective sets of limited data, but like you said would be surprising even remarkable if true.

        Fox News and talk radio have a huge head start on social media.
