> This election isn't Facebook's fault as much as humans' desire to believe what they want to believe. I like to say that humans are very efficient bias confirmation machines. Of course, I may now just be saying this because your comment confirms my bias that humans are bias confirmation machines. Objectivity - true objectivity - is incredibly hard, and most people are deluding themselves if they think they're anything approximating objective (and I count myself in that number!), IMO. I want to believe that I'm objective, but my observation that just about nobody else seems to be very objective suggests that I'm not, either.
