I see that type of bias in social media circles a lot, and it also feels like people building their own “reality”. Facts that are convenient to the group’s current beliefs are loudly shared and repeated, while ones that would cause friction are barely noted, if shared at all.
Well that’s just manipulating people to believe what you want. Ie “propaganda” more or less. Basically sophistry of a sort
Having a distorted view of reality won’t change reality itself. It will only change your “reality” (insofar that a person’s reality is the things they think / experience / believe in), not the objective one.
What about selective presentation of true facts?
