A new study finds that liberal and conservative brains react differently to information.
This is heavily hyped in the story, to indicate flexibility in liberals and stubbornness in conservatives.
And then you find out that the difference is how accurate liberals are at telling apart the letters "M" and "W".
It seems a stretch to extrapolate that to complex decision making, or beliefs. Although, since evidence shows that different news sources lead to different levels of knowledge, there may be something there.
