The growing prevalence of fruitless disagreement threatens social cohesionand constructive public discourse. While polarised discussions often reflectdistrust in the news, the link between disagreement and misinformation remainsunclear. In this study, we used data from "Cartesio", an online experimentrating the trustworthiness of Italian news articles annotated for reliabilityby experts, to develop a disagreement metric that accounts for differences inmean trust values. Our findings show that while misinformation is rated as lesstrustworthy, it is not more controversial. Furthermore, disagreement correlateswith increased commenting on Facebook. This suggests that combatingmisinformation alone may not reduce polarisation. Disagreement focuses more onthe divergence of opinions, trust, and their effects on social cohesion. Ourstudy lays the groundwork for unsupervised news analysis and highlights theneed for platform design that promotes constructive interactions and reducesdivisiveness.
