When those test subjects were paid to turn off Fox and instead watch CNN for approximately 7 hours per week, for one month, they were far less likely to believe lies. The manifold effects of partisan media on viewers’ beliefs and attitudes: A field experiment with Fox News viewers: https://osf.io/jrw26/ To which I say: tell us something we didn't already know.
I've been conducting informal observations of people who watch a lot of cable news. Conclusion: it makes them mean and crazy. As the kids would say: touch grass.
Another study with dumbasses as subjects.... those who don't believe in human evolution are more prone to racism and violence as a means of conflict resolution: https://phys.org/news/2022-04-disbelief-human-evolution-linked-greater.html
Speaking of which: Marjorie Taylor Greene: “I’m going to tell you right now what is a woman .. We came from Adam’s rib .. We are the weaker sex, but we are our husband’s wife.” https://twitter.com/RonFilipkowski/status/1511101197301821442?
This is stupid to me and I have argued and debated the obvious evidence of evolution many of nights over booze and weed. Studies are a practice of compiling data and filtering it out to create an association with one's hypothesis. I still can't figure out if a cup of coffee and / or a glass a wine per day is good or bad. The studies say so many different things. Umm, Cross burning fanatics don't believe in evolution and hate blacks and immigrants and gays. Lefties love blacks immigrants and gays. Let me write a paper. So, "The next step, the researchers say, is to investigate how evolution is taught in the classroom and work toward developing models to study and strengthen the positive effects." We have a Critical Theory Study at work here trying to ostracize people who don't believe in evolution. Fucking brilliant.
Be that as it may, this is still quite true: people who don't believe in evolution are generally indoctrinated to be ignorant. In MJT's case, she's just f***ing stupid beyond measure.
apart from her Qanon past, which has everything to do with stupid conspiracy theories like pizzagate, jews shooting rockets, and election fraud, I don't know where she lies on the racism spectrum. My study on these studies is that liberal students want to impress their liberal professors and find forced correlations. And coffee and wine are ok to drink in moderation.
