Question

A. Trust in those who do the reporting also matters in how that statement is interpreted, according to Pew Research Center. Almost four-in-ten Americans who have a lot of trust in the information from national news organizations (39%) correctly identified all five factual statements, compared with 18% of those who have not much or no trust. Why might this be?

B. In addition to political awareness, party identification plays a role in how Americans differentiate between factual and opinion news statements, according to Pew Research Center. Both Republicans and Democrats show a propensity to be influenced by which side of the aisle a statement appeals to most. For example, members of each political party were more likely to label both factual and opinion statements as factual when they appealed more to their political side. How might this affect consumption of political news?
