Exactly. It’s very easy to find a source on the internet that confirms our world view on whatever topic you can think of - aka confirmation bias. You can’t trust Fox News or CNN or whatever you normally read to tell you the full story. They ALL have an agenda - ALL of them. It is true regardless of your political leanings.
People very much want to read news that confirms their beliefs. Again, liberal, conservative, left, right - everyone does it.
