A clear link emerged between how much people used different sources of information and belief in conspiracy theories. The more people trust journalistic media (even if they don't use it), the less likely they were to believe in conspiracy theories. The reverse was found for non-journalistic media.
While most of the Irish public do not believe six prominent conspiracy theories, the level of support for some of these might raise a few eyebrows. FuJo members @robraonain.bsky.social and Rabhya Mehrotra report data trends from 2024-Election in @rtebrainstorm.bsky.social

Dr. Tanya Lokot, @fujomedia.bsky.social at @DublinCityUniversity in @RTÉ on how AI and deepfakes are becoming political strategies to sow doubt and control narratives. A chilling reminder of the cracks in trust.
www.rte.ie/news/primeti...
In the age of AI, is doubt becoming a political strategy?
As references to AI become more common in political discourse, what happens when democratic governments begin using it to question the authenticity of real events?
