Yep. It suggests bias in the methods used to collect and publish data.
This is perfectly rational. Do you trust political polling from pollsters with party affiliation? I hope not.
- ciaranm 10y agoWho do you know who's genuinely not political? People have biases all over the place. They're not going to disappear - understand them, acknowledge them, interpret them. Don't just shrug your shoulders and say "nah I don't like that". They're not publishing opinion pieces - it's research.
- fixxer 10y agoNow we're making progress: I don't. Over the last couple years, I've started mentally putting a "P(BULLSHIT)" next to every source I read. The estimate keeps growing. While you might want to make this an ad hominem attack, all I can say is that my probability estimates are pretty darn bipartisan.
