The "why" is pretty simple. The right tends to lean toward authoritarianism, and the left toward anarchy, at their far extremes. The mild form of authoritarian is hero worship and trusting of authority when the authority is perceived to be in your group. The mild form of anarchy is skepticism and questioning of those kinds of authorities. Thus, right-wing info gets shared more often, because the right believes it, and the left shares it to critique it. (BTW, People feel like the parties in the US don't represent them because they don't, really, on this axis anyway, though Trumpist Republicans are making a real play for authoritarianism.)
