RE: Why we need Steemit: 42% of Republicans say accurate, negative stories are fake news [dTube]

hmmmm

"'But David, I'm sure Democrats are just as bad'; actually no, only 17% believe negative articles are Fake News" [paraphrased]

The thing is tho, the "fake news" catch-all is a Republican thing. If you rephrased the question to "is this an inaccurate hit piece" (or something like that), maybe the numbers would be closer together?

Democrats are less likely to think of a negative story as "fake news" but it doesn't mean they're processing it wonderfully and take the info to heart and recognize that it's accurate and whatnot.
