I just got to the fbi tables and save the pic

And also copy the link

You are right tho both sides do

Sometimes there are misinformed conservatives

Yeah I just think it’s a common human characteristic that a lot of people have regardless of ideology or party affiliation, they want to be right so they cherry pick facts and data to prove their point, instead of looking at it objectively and trying to find out what’s right or wrong

A lot of people already formed an opinion on something before they actually research it, so they go into researching it with a bias and will be more likely to cherry pick

I conduct research myself. If i find a whole data table the supports me, im happy. I don't cherry pick or look for skewed data. I always go to government sites. Like the FBI & CDC.

One thing i do want to put my two cents in is the Kavanaugh hearing.

The accusations did not happen until it so happened to be a Republican was running for supreme court justice, that someone came out and said something. If this happened in highschool, she could have reported it. If i was her and i got raped i would have stoped at nothing to make sure my rapist gets served justice. So why is it that she comes out when he runs for the position.

As

@chad do you think the average man is capable of overcoming his own confirmation bias, or is independent (primary source) research beyond his reach?

Hmmm

Honestly I’m not sure lol, I know in every group there’s people who are incapable of doing that but I’m not sure whether the average man is or not

If you really wanted to you could find primary sources and scientific articles but the thing is they are hard to come back unless you specifically look for them

identifying sound methodology is definitely out of reach lol

It’s not out of reach it’s just that a lot of people don’t do it

They get all their information or most of it from biased news sites or partisan hack commentators

The thing with articles in academic journals is that contentious issues have very nebulous data, and the bias of the authors has a significant effect on how they fill in the holes for their interpretation

illegal immigration is a good example of a topic where good statistical work just doesn't exist or is very hard to find amidst the partisan garbage

Ah idk I’ve never read any academic literature about illegal immigration

I don't recommend it

But that’s believable, but the thing is when trying to get to the bottom of something you have to get informations from both sides of the isle which the average man doesn’t do

They tend to only watch or listen to things that conform their pre held beliefs

I don't think that is the solution actually

everyone tells lies, but putting two opposing lies together doesn't usually give you the truth

Well yeah you have to search for truth of course. But in a lot of cases there are no lies, just biased cherry picked stats/information, each side does so if you hear out both sides you get a wider perspective and you get the whole story rather than a one sided one

Tucker Carlson made this monologue that he will probably be fired for on the topic of lies that span both major parties https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mSuQ-AyiicA

it will probably be too far right for your taste but it is well done

anyone about to be fired is more trustworthy in my book haha
