hertz,

I wasn't trying to belittle, but seriously interested.

We are all guilty of confirmation bias in our thinking, and how we interpret what we see.

Obviously, I see it on both sides of the political spectrum, but it seems to me (confirmation bias, perhaps), that something that would cause a moral outrage from the "left" if done by the "right" gets nary a whimper of attention when something this egregious is done for the advancement of a "lefty" meme.

I think we need a new forum on CM where we can explore and discuss the confirmation bias fetish and all those who are confirmation biased can gather and share.

In the interests of moving the debate forward on an evidenced footing, can you provide a recentish example of this, please?
