The Breitbart Study

The Breitbart Study analyzed online comments on news articles to understand the political leanings of internet commenters. It found that a significant portion of comments, especially on conservative and right-leaning sites, originate from a small group of highly active users who tend to push conservative viewpoints. These users often use automation tools, like bots, to amplify their presence. The study aimed to highlight how online discussions can be shaped by active, coordinated efforts, influencing public perception and political discourse on social media and news platforms.
