because we call that coverage filtering. your proven what would sense for a while. the fox and cnn for different issues. fox news predominately covers issues that makes them look bad. during this time, we find the abraham sign. they artie signed a major peace agreement. it is really a major accomplishment. those networks are engaging in this filtering. i think you are engaging in both sides of that. [laughter] greg: [repeats]
coverage filtering and basically you re proving what we ve sent for a while, viewers are in the dark about bad news for the gop . that s right. fox and cnn cover different d issues and fox news predominantly covers issues that make the gop look good and make democrats look bad and on the flipside, cnn engages in this partisan coverage filtering. as well that we find ,for example, during this timeri the abraham of our sign. and it is where the agreements where israel, the uae, bahrain signed a major peace agreement and we see that foxe news covered this really major accomplishment about 15 times more than cnn did. so we which both networks are really engaging this partisanis coverage filtering it s it s not about one side. it s about the media at large . i think i you re engaging on boh sides, isn t there, josh? the engaging in both sides of josh look, pillsbury, the data the research showed both sides
is fox viewers are in the dark about bad news for the gop. that s right. fox and cnn cover different issues and fox news predominantly covers issues that make the gop look good and make democrats look bad. on the flip side cnn engages in this partisan coverage filtering as well. for example, during this time the abraham accords were signed and the agreements where israel, the uae and bahrain signed a major piece agreement. fox news covered this major accomplishment 15 times more than cnn did. both networks are encouraging in this partisan coverage filtering it s not about one side, it s about the media writ large. i think you re engaging in both sidesism there, josh. not trying to lay out a moral equivalency, it s not about what an objective standard s it s really about how all networks do engage in this and in order for
predominantly watched fox news up until september 2020 and in september 2020 we paid them to watch cnn instead, at the time at which they usually watched fox news. afterwards we asked them a variety of questions about what they knew about the world and their attitudes about current events and people like donald trump. that was during the trump presidency of course. the real key finding from our perspective is essentially that we find that partisan media is hiding information from voters. i think there s an analogy of putin s russia where right now russians we know are not getting all the information about what s actually happening in ukraine and in the same way we found during the trump presidency. those watching fox news weren t getting all the information about what was really happening, for example, with covid and otherwise in the trump administration. then they started seeing on cnn and said, oh, wow, i had no idea. i didn t know all this because fox news wasn t telling me. josh,
