Katharina Tittel, @piotram.bsky.social and I identified patterns of sources in French-language X immigration posts and the likely ideological leanings of posters. Far-right users uniquely flood feeds with hyper-partisan sources, but also post mainstream and public media like left/center users.
We document how much differnt types of Twitter/X users (from far-left to far-right) post different types of news sources on immigration. Far-right users are much more likely to share hyperpartisan sources, but they also share legacy and public broadcasting sources in similar or even greater proportions to left and center users.
