List at least one example from the media or society in general in which confirmation bias is evident.
Confirmation bias is the tendency to search for instances that confirm our beliefs rather than to search for evidence that falsifies those beliefs. The tendency to look for, prefer, and use information that confirms our beliefs and to ignore and forget information that disconfirms our beliefs is ubiquitous. For the most part, we are unaware of the many times we use confirmation bias because we are not consciously aware of the way we are accepting or rejecting information.
