Content: There are news articles that claim ‘facts’, yet are not ‘facts’, but biased perspectives that align with the reader’s own. In turn, the unverified claims that are not supported by the evidence are seen as ‘factual’, just because they align with existing beliefs. In turn, such news is spread across platforms, gaining more and more traction as it confirms millions of people’s existing beliefs. How to Avoid Confirmation Bias
The first way by which we can avoid confirmation bias is to first admit that exists. Only once we are aware of when it happens can we look to address it. In order to avoid confirmation bias, we must look at other points of view and listen to the other side of the argument. However, this must be done with an open mind. It is also important to surround ourselves with people whose opinions differ from ourselves, even if that makes us uncomfortable. Only then will our existing ideas be challenged. However, we must also acknowledge that we do not necessarily know everything.
