I believe it’s a two major factors are involved:
1. Confirmational bias — Single sourcing news from your preferred ideological news source.
2. Internet providing that preferred ideological news source.
This has probably happened just as often as pre-internet era, we just didn’t know it as stories like these rarely if ever made national news.
So rest assured, as you read this and get enraged, KOS, DU, DB, HuP will probably never see it as they suffer from the same confirmational bias as some of us — include me to. I’ve been guilty.
Interesting, my spell checker turned confirmational into confrontational. New phrase is invented. Confrontational Bias.
So rest assured, as you read this and get enraged, KOS, DU, DB, HuP will probably never see it as they suffer from the same confirmational bias as some of us include me to. Ive been guilty.
