Survival of the Wrongest – Evidence has a well-known liberal bias
- AnimalMuppet 8y agoWell-known to liberals, at least. But liberals can have confirmation bias, too. So maybe the more correct statement is "Evidence that liberals focus on has a well-known liberal bias". Surprisingly (not), the conservatives don't see it that way, because they have their own confirmation bias, and their evidence clearly supports their view. Krugman titles his column "The Conscience of a Liberal". Remember that. He's writing as a liberal, not really as an economist.
- microwavecamera 8y ago"Liberalism" is also an economics term.
- AnimalMuppet 8y agoTrue. But he's not spending most of his columns advocating for economic liberalism.
