“...we tend to uncritically accept what we want to be true.”
“If your ‘news’ sources know what you believe and like (and they do) and you believe what you like to hear, then it should be no surprise that you are presented with more of it, magnified and deepened.” - Ken Brown
Wow, this is relevant for today and should be discussed from the pulpit. Unfortuantely many ministers are also duped by the evaluation of data/news…
It is interesting that very few, if any, seem to apply this to themselves. It’s always the other people who are doing this.

It is something we all need to be very vigilant about. I think there could be a good part 2 to this article. I view my self as much more a righ leaning centrist. And I consume a lot of news across a variety of sources and leanings. And it is still very hard to get to the truth (maybe you can make an argument, what is the truth), and I fall into these ditches.
