The Problem is widespread
"Perhaps we are ignoring conflicting arguments from other perspectives because we have limited our information consumption entirely to sources that are consistent with our positions. Maybe we even eliminated contact wuth friends and family who have conflicting views , or perhaps unfriended those on social media who see it from a different perspective. Many of us seek out information that confirms that belief and ignore data or facts that might refute our position."
Homophily in social networks. It's a new phenomenon.

I haven't put you "iggy" so guess it doesn't apply.
