Confirmation bias
Confirmation bias is the tendency to search for, interpret, favor, and recall information in a way that confirms or supports one's prior beliefs or values. People display this bias when they select information that supports their views, ignoring contrary information, or when they interpret ambiguous evidence as supporting their existing attitudes. The effect is strongest for desired outcomes, for emotionally charged issues, and for deeply entrenched beliefs. Confirmation bias cannot be eliminated entirely, but it can be managed, for exam.ple, by education and training in critical thinking skills

Regarding your "confirmation bias" post. Simply well stated Cobalt. Somebody should point this out to topadvisor1, a.k.a. "the douchebag", a.k.a. that excrementally saturated liar, a.k.a. the nazifcationists supporting propagandist.
