Social correction across party lines in a Twitter field experiment - Procedure

Obtained 10 articles that were deemed false by Snopes.com, 5 pro-Democrat and the other 5 pro-Republican
Searched for users who shared these 10 articles on Twitter
Created 12 identical bots (6 Democrats and 6 Republicans) to send correction messages
