What happens when we see news on other countries’ #COVID19 policies? In our latest @PLOSONE article, we report interesting effects on knowledge of policy differences, support for adopting similar policies, presidential blame, and trust in health experts doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone…

"We can still stop them. Yeah I said 'we.' We as in small-d democrats...as a journalist I'm not here to speak for a political party but I am damn well here to speak for democracy...sorry, there's no 'both sides' when it comes to democracy." Me on @MSNBC:

I have one message to members of Congress who amplified lies to undermine our democracy, encouraged an attack on our Capitol, and tried to overturn our election: Resign. If your lust for power exceeds your dedication to democracy, there is simply no place for you in Congress.

Two certainties at tonight's debate: fact-checking by the media, and criticism of the media by the candidates. Our research shows that fact-checking can help improve attitudes toward the media -- but only when journalists also defend their profession. journals.plos.org/plosone/ar…

In a paper just published in POQ, we find that platforms can benefit in a number of ways from increasing the proportion of pro-attitudinal partisan news in users' feeds. Feel free to DM me if you would like to read it in full! academic.oup.com/poq/advance…

My first @monkeycageblog post: Trump's scandals do hurt him with Republicans, according to our experiment (just published in @PoPpublicsphere: doi.org/10.1017/S15375927190…) With my coauthors: @NathanKalmoe @kesearles @mingxiaosui @pingree @brianKwatson @KBryanov @Martina_Santia
No, Trump isn’t Teflon. Scandals lower his approval among Republicans — if they see the news. wapo.st/34EwPt4
We randomly added or removed stories about the Trump-Russia scandal in an online news portal over one week. Seeing more scandal news lowers Republicans' assessments of Trump. Our study, out today in @PoPpublicsphere! Open access link: cambridge.org/core/journals/…
