Does REALITY have a left-leaning bias? Some polls seem to suggest YES.
In research constructed by Frank Graves, a professor at Carlton University, respondents were given a series of questions to test how much or how little they believed in things. It turned out that the people who most strongly believed disinformation where far and away more likely to be planning to vote Conservative or PPC while those with low level of believing disinformation tended to be split more between Liberal and NDP.
How about that, eh? Turns out reality has a left-leaning bias!
[quote]“For this research, we tested four separate indicators of disinformation and we have constructed a disinformation index, a 12-point scale that measures how strongly respondents have bought into three pieces of disinformation and how strongly they reject one piece of correct information:
- Canada’s economic growth lags well behind the G7 average; - Vaccine-related deaths are being concealed from the public; - The right to bear arms is guaranteed in Canada’s constitution; and - Climate change is caused by greenhouse gas emissions”[/quote]
this narrative is only pushing people towards conforming to its narrow ideals of left vs. right. its not helpful socially. you are wasting your time with this stuff not to mention being a public nuisance
Actually i think it's important to call attention to this. This is the result of asking real people real questions and it so happens that the more strongly a person believes in disinformation, the more likely they are to be attracted to the conservative side of the political spectrum.
That's a big damn problem for all of us and not the least, people who have conservative politics themselves.
