This finding has implications for how we think about misinformation interventions.
If those who are exposed to misinformation "already know better", maybe our solution should look past psychological processes or individual skills.

In fact, the ideological diversity of news diet predicts misinformation exposure as strongly as "age 55+" and partisan leaning (@andyguess.com)
We quantify ideological diversity using "ideological distance" which measures the average pairwise distances between news pages.

Instead of focusing on the prevalence/reach of misinformation overall, we think it is important to know how that exposure is distributed among news consumers, and what kinds of news those misinformation-prone people also consume.
