Since most find it challenging to really feel what “Five to Eight times More Misleading” actually means, I find it helpful to use percentages instead:

“Right-leaning images were 500 - 800% more likely than Left-leaning images to be Misleading.”

Yeah that’s worse. I feel like people can misinterpret that to mean 500 times.

Not a fair comparison. College debt is a capitalist scam.

It is not a comparison actually he is just talking about the length of propaganda and the scams which are present on the Facebook.

He is not saying that one thing is better than the other.

And the most f***** up thing about it is that many people would actually believe it.

Of course that is not the how things work but people will believe everything that they see on the internet.

It is all propaganda and it is all miss leading and we should not believe any of it that we see online.

Especially we should not believe the things that we see on the Facebook.
