If Bernie attacks the democrats in any way this evening

223. No, what's ridiculous is that confirmation bias as already been admitted to,

you seem to ignore that. I think you're being affected by the biased coverage you prefer.

I'm sorry, but the "specific lens" you're tallking about is your perception given your bias, it's a pretense of honesty and understanding and it's completely subjective.

Your example doesn't relate here, at all. You shouldn't assume anything, you should take in all the opinions and points of view and do your research, you're choosing to outsource that to people who support the same bills and the same candidates you do. That's not intelligent consumption of news, that's the echo chamber, that's what the right wing does, that alone should tell you what a failure such a tactic is.

You do know that people ranting about the MSM and who advocate simply sucking up what anyone puts out, if they like their bias is literally what the right wing does? You need to stop turning a blind eye to your own responsibility in processing stories, and stop outsourcing that to an echo chamber based on who they're cheering for. I turn no blind eye to anything, that's how I'm able to call out the disturbing similarities in what you're doing here with what the right wing does. That is not how intelligent, educated people should be processing the news.

You stated that you only trust people who share your beliefs and then chose to attack the Boston Globe and "corporations" for some reason while holding up Chris Hayes who has failed to keep his personal opinions from his supposed journalism. You don't actually know what you're saying. I don't know what the issues with the Globe are, but I'm wondering if you've even got your papers straight.

What is it with you people and these personal attacks? Why should I answer your odd questions, so you can have "fun" with more personal attacks? Seriously, you guys need to get a freaking grip.

I read everything, I hold no one is such high regard that I take them at their word, I do my homework, I do my research, I confirm facts, I look at their citations it's why I know what's true, what's not and what's a steaming pile of BS. It's why I can rightly say Chris Hayes failed miserably, the intercept is total trash, Greenwald is an idiot, Sainato a ratfucker, and a whole bunch of other clear propaganda for what it is. Many who share the false beliefs and loyalties of these folks are being misinformed, this is how they were manipulated, not just by ads and twitter bots and fake FB pages.

Wake up, learn some basic things about how to read and process news, research sources and double check stats and read some primary source material for once. The actual bills, the actual voting records, the papers, the studies, the methodologies, look at the data, learn what you should have been taught in high school but apparently were not. (General you, not 2nd person singular)

Less "fun" at being hostile and more work in educating yourself and not believing everything you read and the repeating it mindlessly because it confirms you own bias. The failure to do so is how we ended up with so many people mindlessly parroting right wing and other talking points they were fed by people they agreed with and who didn't know they were being punked.
