Extended Data Fig. 1: Strong partisans are exposed to similar rates of partisan and unreliable news, but asymmetrically follow and engage with such news.

This figure complements Fig. 1 in the main text by displaying, for all 7-point PID groups, average exposure, follows and overall engagement with partisan (a, c) and unreliable news (b, d) by study wave and 7-point PID clustered at the participant-level. Data are presented as participant-level means grouped by 7-point PID in each subplot, all error bars indicate 95% confidence intervals (CI), and results from bivariate tests of differences in partisan and unreliable news by 7-point PID are available in Extended Data Table 2. A score of zero does not imply neutrality in the scores we used, so left-of-zero scores do not imply a left-leaning bias (Methods, ‘Partisan News Scores’).
