Confirmation bias is a hurdle for all of us. We have a particular set of values/beliefs and interpret information based on that set of values/beliefs. We seek out other sources that will continue to confirm these beliefs. This is dangerous because we are not allowing ourselves to see the entire picture. We will not get the reality of a news story, but only the view we are already held. Those viewers that only watch Fox News or MSNBC are watching very biased news so that they can continue with their own bias so as to not have it challenged.
I want you to challenge yourself!
