That's pretty interesting. Got any articles that talk about it? Interested in perusing one.

Forget the exact article actually think it might have been a youtube video, but googling has lots of results and this one is from the verge:

A study today published by Media Matters for America attempts to answer that question. Over 37 weeks, the authors measured engagement likes, comments, and shares across left- and right-leaning pages. What did they find?
Right-leaning pages earned on average about 372,000 weekly interactions and left-leaning pages earned on average about 369,000 weekly interactions.
Partisan pages also outperformed pages that are not politically aligned, earning a piddling 283,000 weekly interactions. (The study isnt about how hard it is to reach an audience on Facebook these days, though it certainly makes the case: a post from a partisan page reached just 0.17 percent of its followers, and a post from a non-partisan page reached 0.07 percent. Thank you, Facebook Journalism Project!)
The results of the study are consistent with the results of a similar exercise undertaken by Media Matters last year. That study, which measured engagement on the same set of pages over the previous six months, found that right-leaning pages had a nearly identical average rate of interactions with left-leaning pages. It also found that the right-leaning pages it studied earned 51 percent more total interactions than left-leaning pages.
