Confirmation Bias Fallacy

Definition: Confirmation Bias is the tendency to seek out information that confirms a person’s existing opinion and to reject the information that does not support his/her opinion.  Confirmation bias occurs when people filter out useful information or undervalue information that does not support their opinion.  Contaminating information with confirmation bias can lead a person to make bad decisions, all relevant information must be considered to make an informed decision.

Real world example: There are examples of confirmation bias in every day in politics.  One great example of confirmation bias is the way that the media covers the White House.  The different networks report on the same stories each day but to the viewers it is painfully obvious if the network or correspondent is pro or anti Trump.  For example, Fox News applauded President Trump for visiting the hurricane disaster in Puerto Rico and assisting with distributing supplies while the Washington Post covered the story differently when they referred to Trump as “tone deaf” and having a sense of superiority for tossing paper towels into the crowd.  
Example in a film- In Dumb and Dumber when Lloyd asks his dream girl Mary Swanson what the chances are that they end up together and she tells him “one in a million”  Lloyd uses confirmation bias which filters out the terrible odds, and he only hears that there is indeed a chance and excitedly responds “so you’re telling me there’s a chance”.
