The estimates are derived from the regressions described in Equation ( 2 ) (see Methods). The figure is divided into two panels: the left-hand panel considers seeds written by Democrat politicians, whereas the right-hand panel focuses on seeds written by Republican politicians. The x -axes in both panels represent the FmB scores of the seeds. The y -axes in both panels show the FmB scores of the replies. In both cases, a value of FmB<0 signals belief-speaking texts, whereas a value of FmB>0 indicates fact-speaking texts. The I score scoreline types and colors are assigned based on their relationship to the mean and standard deviation of I score . A value of -1 standard deviation from the mean is represented in blue, indicating repliers who tend toward more liberal views, whereas a value +1 standard deviation from the mean is depicted in red, indicating repliers characterized by a more conservative partisanship.
