Parsing Fact from Fiction

A recent survey by the Âé¶¹app looked at the public acceptance of conspiracy claims compared to statements based on scientific facts. They found only around 10% agreed with conspiracy claims and while that was low overall, it was significantly higher among certain subgroups including millennials and supporters of former President Donald Trump.
