#3I'm sorry, is this showing a _causal_ relationship between political bias and perceptions of reality? The headline and article make it sound like that, but it could just as easily be that your perception of reality causes your political bias. Or that some other thing causes both of them.
I can't see the paper to be sure because it's behind a paywall.

#4What's with all these articles stating obvious stuff everyone already knows? I remember a month ago there was an article about how breathing can affect health, like that was news or something. It was on the front page.

#5It turns out those polled are not good at knowing verifiable facts like:
What share of U.S. immigrants receive unemployment? What share of U.S. immigrants are Muslim?
Why do people even hazard a guess at this stuff? Does your average Joe registered voter really think they have such a handle on immigration in their country that they think they know the religion of everyone coming in and who is receiving exactly what benefits?
Talk about the Dunning–Kruger effect...

#8What share of US immigrants receive unemployment?
Democrats: 25.6% Republicans: 27.1% Reality: 5.5%
It seems the bigger bias comes from the general media than any particular party political bias.
