'Is news only that which is true?'

First of all, a phenomenon can be described as an objective representation of sensitive reality. How news as information is news when news are dynamic or when news cease to news as soon as they have been heard? Is the news that found or news that need to be founded through a retrospective in terms of verification or the truth is it in the news or in the news back up by facts?

'Research shows that people listen to information that supports their positions and filter out contrary information. This is our “myside” or confirmation bias in action. What is this bias?'

What research reveals here highlights the fact the reality is a combination of a fact and a sense (interpretation). The news is what has been given, it form depends not on the news per se but the sensitivity and intellectual structure of the knowing subject. That's why news that supports self position affects positively; it is heard, integrated, reminded, etc.

There is something given (news), but by a form which is that of sensibility and intellectual organization.
