Confirmation bias is such a slippery thing. It's when you pay more attention, notice and remember things which hold to your world view, and find it harder to look at, analyse or accept things which contradict your world view. Basically you don't believe what you see, but rather see what you believe.
In these turbulent times, especially with algorithm derived news, its very easy to find a bubble which just confirms what you already suspected. Don't like X, all your social media feeds to support that view. Like X, well, here is some commentary you will agree with.
