这项研究探讨了美国成年人的媒体消费--从参与者报告的媒体引用的平均偏见和可靠性方面--以及这些参与者对COVID-19和疫苗接种持有不准确信念的程度。值得注意的是，我们使用了一种新颖的方法来捕捉受众媒体消费的（左右）偏见和可靠性，利用了129个新闻来源沿着每个维度的Ad Fontes Media评级。从我们对3，276名美国成年人的全国性调查中，我们发现参与者媒体消费的平均偏差和可靠性是他们对COVID-19和疫苗接种虚假声明的看法的重要预测因素。
This study explores U.S. adults’ media consumption—in terms of the average bias and reliability of the media outlets participants report referencing—and the extent to which those participants hold inaccurate beliefs about COVID-19 and vaccination. Notably, we used a novel means of capturing the (left-right) bias and reliability of audiences’ media consumption, leveraging the Ad Fontes Media ratings of 129 news sources along each dimension. From our national survey of 3,276 U.S. adults, we found that the average bias and reliability of participants’ media consumption are significant predictors of their perceptions of false claims about COVID-19 and vaccination.
