“I’m intentionally indulging in confirmation bias”
I’m beginning to suspect that this term has gaslit us all. I know it’s a real thing, but I also suspect that it used to be applied to extreme cases. An example is if some screwy liberal thinks that they are a dolphin or cat and decides to only associate with the “human is actually a dolphin or cat” cliques on the internet. That’s confirmation bias.
I think the term is nonsense when it is applied to political discourse. To me, it seems like a frigging term some twerp liberal can throw in your face to make you question your core beliefs these days.
The argument should be “has the mainstream media been lying to us or not”. If they have been lying, and you know damn well they have been lying, then confirmation bias is pretty useless in that context.
Sorry for the rant :-).
confirmation bias is a conspiracy theory.
Maybe it’s just me but whenever I see this headline, “a time to heal” I think heel not “heal” - as in they want us obedient.
“confirmation bias is a conspiracy theory.”
I wouldn’t go that far, but I’d agree that the application of the term has been misused in a way to benefit the ruling class :-). Confirmation bias is *never* applied to liberals. Never.

“FWIW, I listen to David Webb on SiriusXM Patriot 125 from 9-12 most weekday mornings.
Anyone who’s listened would consider him a pretty measured guy. The other morning, he said something like “Hmmm, don’t know if this is true or not, but what I consider a reputable news source in Spain has reported that the US Military has seized some computers there.”
I’ve not heard him mention it again, and I’ve not turned up anything in news searches myself.

Its not just you that sees that. The deep state message is that its time to heel and come under their twisted authority.
“Maybe it’s just me but whenever I see this headline, “a time to heal” I think heel not “heal” - as in they want us obedient.”
reported that the US Military has seized some computers there.”

I read something somewhere to that effect too. It wasn’t David Webb, but I don’t recall who or where-wasn’t a known source, so I figured TBD.
ThankQ!!!

Every single state had fraud, even if not big name/in the news. ILLEGALS for one thing.
Bookmarking!!!
“Time to Heal”. Just Say NO!!
I’m thinking that Trump’s team knew who owns/operates the voting machines and has had surveilance on them for a long time.
Since they are a Toronto-based company a FISA warrant was needed and 2 hops gives him authority to surveil Pelosi, Feinstein, Soros, et al.
Guest on David Brody “Water Cooler” show on America’s Voice says Biden folks are preparing to transition but are just now beginning to realize many will instead transition to federal prison for vote fraud ;)
It’s used exactly the same way “conspiracy theory” is used to shut down investigations or discussion into leftist bad acts.
Confirmation bias is conspiracy theory.
*******
That’s the way I meant to phrase it. Using a new spellchecker gizmo and it changed it to “... a conspiracy...”. Well, honestly, I changed it because I thought I’d spelled conspiracy wrong and didn’t pay attention to the change made.
Are conspiracy theories always false?
Or, is that a confirmation bias?
FYI if you followed me on Fakebook, I have deleted my acct there.
Never liked that platform---clumsy, confusing, gaudy.— Larry Schweikart (@LarrySchweikart) November 12, 2020
Pelosi and Feinstein have ties to China. And what about those servers in North Korea? Whatever happened to them?
