A large proportion of them regularly spread half-truths. The diversity of perspectives on X is diminishing. https://www.pewresearch.org/journalism/2024/11/18/americas-news-influencers/ https://www.pewresearch.org/journalism/2018/06/18/distinguishing-between-factual-and-opinion-statements-in-the-news/ https://moody.utexas.edu/news/presidential-campaign-goes-viral-so-too-does-misinformation https://reutersinstitute.politics.ox.ac.uk/digital-news-report/2024/dnr-executive-summary
