Confirmation bias, also called confirmatory bias or myside bias, is the tendency to search for, interpret, favor, and recall information in a way that confirms one's preexisting beliefs or hypotheses, while giving disproportionately less consideration to alternative possibilities

Confirmation bias - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

weather you are a Trump or Clinton supporter take some time to make sure this is not a factor . I was doing this and I did not even know it

It is obviously the modus operundi of way too many participants.

In fact many do not acknowledge there is another view/opinion than their own.

I call myself a constructive non-conformist with a wide open mindset....unless confronted by bulldozers!!!

Nice to speak with someone intelligent , it is refreshing. Cognitive biases in general are prevalent here.

My goal is to have them step back and see it from the other side.

this is true , do not fall victim to this

Yes, in the military they call it Psyops. Works for me. Come over to my side and see it from "the other side." Nice try.

If it doesn't come from FOX or other Conservative sources, it's not true

confirmation bias is not what is driving the continuing Hillary scandals. and its clear that corruption and not confirmation bias is protecting the most corrupt couple in politics. Benghazi, a personal e-mail server, Clinton Charitable Foundation the FBI cover up including the FBI agreeing to destroy the laptops of two of Hillary's top advisers following their testimony.

No unfortunately corruption is what has kept this couple from being incarcerated. Americans ought to be ashamed of themselves for not driving this couple out of the country.
