What Are We Getting From The News
Do some journalists report the news with a bias.
Do we prefer the news that reflects our own bias.
Do we really want the new, or are we just seeking ways to confirm our bias.

What are we getting from the news? Apparently not question marks... Do some journalists report the news with a bias(?) Yes. And more than that, we are increasingly seeing the companies that pay their checks take a general bias and enforce it on their product. And that appears to be what the public wants anymore. Disturbing Do we prefer the news that reflects our own bias(?) Yes. This just tends to be human nature, for better or worse (definitely worse). Do we really want the new, or are we just seeking ways to confirm our bias(?) That depends on the individual, but confirmation bias is wide spread, now doubt. 1
