Using a sample of American adult social media users, we match data from individuals\u2019 Internet browser histories with a survey measuring the accuracy of political beliefs. We find that visits to partisan websites are at times related to misperceptions consistent with the political bias of the site. However, we do not find strong evidence that untrustworthy websites consistently relate to false beliefs. There is also little evidence that visits to less partisan, centrist news sites are associated with more accurate political beliefs about these issues, suggesting that exposure to politically neutral news is not necessarily the antidote to misinformation. Results suggest that focusing on partisan news sites\u2014rather than untrustworthy sites\u2014may be fruitful to understanding how media contribute to political misperceptions.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/14614448211033300","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,7,28]],"date-time":"2021-07-28T07:48:25Z","timestamp":1627458505000},"page":"2644-2662","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":31,"title":["Partisan media, untrustworthy news sites, and political misperceptions"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"25","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2355-2302","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Brian E","family":"Weeks","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Michigan, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ericka","family":"Menchen-Trevino","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"American University, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Christopher","family":"Calabrese","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of California Davis, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Andreu","family":"Casas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universiteit van Amsterdam, The Netherlands"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Magdalena","family":"Wojcieszak","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of California Davis, USA; University of Amsterdam, The Netherlands"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,7,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_5_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/2053168019848554"},{"key":"e_1_3_5_3_1","volume-title":"Science Advances","author":"Allen J","year":"2020","unstructured":"Allen J, Howland B, Mobius M, et al (2020) Evaluating the fake news problem at the scale of the information ecosystem.
