Trend of Confirmation Bias by Fox News Ruptured in Presidential Debate
Some conservative commentators rejected Trump’s victory claims…
In today’s turbulent political environment, it was refreshing to finally see at least some right-wing media voices breaking the trend of confirmation bias by finally speaking the truth about former president Trump.
Surprisingly, some on Fox News took the rare measure of openly agreeing that Trump’s debate performance against Vice President Harris was an unequivocal debacle.
Confirmation bias by conservative media only helps to further indoctrinate Trump supporters and unduly influence undecided or Trump-leaning voters whose favorite — and sometimes only — media source is Fox News.
But agreeing with Trump that he performed great and won the debate was a bridge too far for some on Fox, but not everybody.
Predictably, the anchors of Fox’s highest-rated prime-time political talk shows actually parroted Trump’s victory claims.
Evening talk show hosts Jessee Waters, Sean Hannity and Laura Ingraham, for example, tried to sugarcoat Trump’s dismal debate performance.
