Katie - great conversation between you and Chris earlier - thanks for doing that! I found the partisan split graphic really interesting, as I was reading this morning about a recent survey that tested AI platform values. Which got me wondering almost this exact same thing - if a human with similar values to "Platform A values" doesn't like how Platforms B-Z interact or respond, will they simply ignore B-Z and spend the majority of their time on A and inadvertently just double down on their own values and bias? We've 20+ years of data seeing this play out on social media - algorithms that keep feeding us what we click on. Only now it has a personality too? LI post that got me thinking and their survey results here: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/chrislaw_valuerank-slides-activity-7467285378065092608-Lsml?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop&rcm=ACoAAABlNyIBdKfYum4h6jo7HftRcieZ5jFxohs
Thanks. Not a campaign professional but I do use it for fact checking on occasion. I think I will stay with my extensive survey method for the time being. I don't think state controlled foreign sources are automatically problematic. I will sometimes look at Russia Today or al Jazeera or BBC to find out what their governments are thinking. That is an important data point as long as you recognize it for what it is.

Thank you for sharing that and for tuning in!
How exactly are the tools getting political fact checking wrong. 90% is a really big number.
