An unlikely arbiter recently emerged in this debate: Twitter itself. In October it released a paper showing that its algorithm, which picks which tweets users see in which order, favoured right-leaning American news sites. In six of the seven countries studied, the algorithm also gave a disproportionate boost to lawmakers from conservative political parties. Twitter shared its data withThe study relied on a large experiment.
This discrepancy could arise for reasons besides ideology. To test alternatives, we fed Twitter’s data into a model that accounted for the amount of amplification in each country, political parties’ vote shares in the most recent elections and whether they were in government. Yet even after making these adjustments, the algorithm still favoured conservative parties.
In 2019 we studied how Google ranks news stories, and found that accuracy, not ideology, explained its rankings. This is also true of Twitter. However, whereas Google gave higher rankings to more reliable sites, we found that Twitter boosted the least reliable sources, regardless of their politics. Left-wing sites with poor accuracy scores, like. ProPublica, a non-profit focused on public-interest investigations, had one of the lowest amplification ratios.

This is a great example of media bias for sure. When you act like there’s an objective accuracy that can be used to measure reporting against and somehow the most accurate ones are typical shills for a corrupt establishment.
🤣🤣🤣🤣 THEY ARE SELF TERMINATING
🤡🤡🤡 CLOWNS!
Wow The Economist has really sunk to a new low. You are not the organisation you used to be esp when I grew up. Very depressing. The fact you list the NYT as one of the most accurate sources is highly highly worrying and shows you for what you are now. Poor.
How convenient, couldn't even wait a week? ...lol...EVERYONE knows that's not true
I am archiving this, so when the truth comes out, you guys can’t delete it
Sounds like fake news. This article will not age well, especially after Elon’s investigation into the algorithm.
'Unreliable media', alot to unpack there.
But where's you in this analysis? Or political whores doesn't include in servey?
Do you guys ever criticize left wing political parties or is 200 years of failed marxist ideology not enough for the ANTI-Economist?
hahahaha here comes the BS propaganda
What a load of BS
maybe it is that more subscribers are a smarter group of people. it is what it is. dont cry salt.
If you’re surprised by this, you might be in a bubble
Why would they brag about that?
Interesting but I would make that circle of the NYT a grey one, at least.
both sides, both sides...
The whole right wing outrage in the past 2-3 years is based on the idea that they are discriminated against by the big tech. But as it turns out ( and most of us already suspected), the whole thing was a fake outrage. Shocker.
you can see it in Dorsey's beard
Cue comments from Trump's poorly educated supporters.
Daily Mail classed as centrist?
GlennKesslerWP What a shame that a usurer who made his billions ripping off homeowners invested so much time into that garbage publication.
Stop promoting division no one cares nor should they. Both sides have good and bad ideas and it takes working together to get through stuff. Bidens administration are not democrats theyre extremists and a threat to the globe if they dont get it together. WAKE UP PEOPLE
NYT is no longer left, or accurate
Lol
