The hypocritical nature of reaction to political bias
Monday, June 4, 2018Liberals in the United States decry the bias of Fox News, while conservatives decry the bias of the New York Times. But new research suggest that partisans do not care much about political neutrality.
The study, published in PLOS One, found that partisan mostly cared about political bias that harmed their own side.
The research:

Political Polarization Is A Psychology Problem
Wednesday, May 30, 2018This discord worries me as a psychologist, not only for the stress it
causes, but because it smacks of a social psychology phenomenon known as
“group polarization.” In group polarization, people who have different
views become reactionary and disagree with one another in a knee jerk
response because they have identified so strongly with their “team” or
in group. Thus, they begin to automatically reject any ideas associated
with the “opponent,” or the out group. This can create a vicious circle
in which the more we dislike a certain group, the more negatively we
judge whatever they have to say ― and the more negatively we judge their
statements, the more we dislike them, and the more we dislike them, the
more negatively we judge their statements. Round and round we go.
