(CNN) — Political conservatives are more likely to believe untrue news reports than liberals are, researchers reported Wednesday.
It's the latest in a series of studies that show people on the political right tend to not only be targeted by fake news, but to believe it's correct.
The small but intensive study, conducted by communications specialists Kelly Garrett and Robert Bond at Ohio State University, shows more engaging but false stories tended to support beliefs held by conservatives, while viral news stories that were also true tended to support beliefs held by liberals.
It does not cover the pandemic period, although the research team is running a similar study now looking at pandemic information and misinformation..
