Political bias goes beyond media

What we need to be aware of, more than the bias of media, is our own biased thinking: we think with a bias that confirms our assumptions, we defend our beliefs even when facts don’t support them, we think as our group thinks, we feel more than we think.

It could be that that is the most difficult task of life.
