a.k.a. leftoids don't think their propaganda is propaganda because 'reality has a left-wing bias' LOL

Facebook supported and pushed the misinformation in the lead-up to the 2020 election. They banned denying the misinformation. Zuckerberge then personally paid private companies to run ballot counting in battleground states....

Fake studies are a dime a dozen.

...especially since Facebook is in a bunch of hot water right now and under a literal Congressional investigation, specifically for censorship of conservatives...

These are the type of fake studies you pay people write up and your buddies in the corporate news business to flood the internet and air waves with as propaganda for the naive.

that's not a link to an article in particular it's just showing up as the magazine

Fair call. That whole issue has relevant discussion. But the paper that has to do with the headline is this one

most misinformation on Facebook existed within conservative echo chambers, which did not have an equivalent on the liberal side of the platform.

Oh, wait you were serious? Let me laugh even harder.
