Relevant bit from the abstract:
"Strikingly, left-leaning stances cause all five models to converge on Japan’s Communist Party, despite other parties holding similar positions on the relevant issues. We trace this to the information environment: JCP operates a fully open website with a party newspaper that models freely access and frequently misclassify as independent journalism, while major Japanese news outlets block AI crawlers."

Of course I would say this (given my politics and research), but I think the key issue in the 'AI moment' is open access: we (I) want open (non-proprietary, public weight) models accessing an open (not paywalled, not blocked to crawlers) web.
