We've always known this, @Timcast. Ever since they created that fake acount targeting Star Wars fans and painting them as rascist, we've known they can't meme.

According to a NewsWhip Study

The Top Pages on Facebook for political content

Conservatives primarily engage with Fox news on Facebook

Democrats primarily engage with Occupy Democrats.

Among content engagements the numbers are substantially higher for the right

Daily Wire content has 132,512,828 engagements on Facebook

TheRoot content has 25,826,019 on Facebook

These are both the top content producers on Facebook by left and right categories.

You can see that conservatives consume substantially more news content than the left.

"There are significantly more producers of right-wing content
than there are of left-wing content. Only 88 publishers are identified in our leftwing category compared to 357 publishers for the right."

"Indeed, the top five for the right-wing significantly outperformed even the leaders in the left-wing category, the top of whom was The Root with nearly 26 million engagements for the year, still fewer than The Daily Caller, which was fifth place for the right-wing publishers."

This is also true for Youtube.

According to a Source at Youtube

News and Politics on youtube is dominated by conservative content

There are many left wing producers but their content gets substantially less engagement.

There are two main hypotheses as to why this engagement gap exists. (there are more but these tend to be the ones focused on)

People associated with the left generally do not search for or share news. They either don't consume news, get news from their friends and word of mouth, or just watch mainstream channels.

People associated with the right have few outlets for conservative content other than Fox news so they go online and search for news and share news.

However the latter doesnt explain how FoxNews is the number one rated cable channel. This would lead us to the conclusion that people associated with the right are significantly more engaged in politics and news than the left.

Not only is Fox News the highest rated channel, by some past reports the ratings for Fox News are more than CNN and MSNBC combined.

Combine this with FoxNews has the highest engaged conservative page, the 2nd highest engaged cable channel producer, and it seems that we could conclude conservatives are substantially more engaged with news and politics than the left.

EDIT:

According to Nielsen Live +7-day data, in 2017 CNN’s median age was 60, while the median age of the

To be honest, it was highly effective for some time

Wait a second...

Wasnt there literally a vid talking about this gap between the size of "conservative" vs "liberal" alternative news something?

I swore I watched something about it this morning

the left tals about the right sharing most fake newsw

however

the engagements for actual fake news ate 16M for the highest and 132M for daily wire

Politically incorrect memes are the best kinds of memes. Change my mind.

yes

Ah fuck me yes, you did, I saw that vid I think

conservatives engage way more than the left

so the proportion of fake news is higher too

but relatively is the same

You said the top most "engaged" sites

Were mostly opinion or activist blogs

For the left leaning sites

What are your thoughts on Snopes? @Timcast

I'll tell you mine.

Its okay for actual myths.

but very biased for anything remotely political

Biased as shit, and yet for SOME REASON people think they're the sole fair minded people around.

"CHECK WITH SNOPES. THE GODS OF BALANCE"

Like you want to know where did the story of something come from?

Its decent for those simple trivia persuits.

but disregard anything, anything political

Yes.

I keep getting pointed to there

While I think Forbes is trash, there was a pretty good article questioning the legitamacy of Snopes.

"SEE? SNOPES SAYS YOU'RE BULLSHITTING ME"

"HILLARY DID NOTHING WRONG. SEE? SNOPES SAID SO. YOU GONNA ARGUE WITH SNOPES?"

It's like... When did I agree that Snopes was right?

I never used that fucking site.

Wait. You saying that Snopes claimed Hillary's email scandal was just a right wing concpiracy theory?

Cause it sounds right up their alley.
