"Psychological experiments in recent years have shown that people are
not evenhanded when they process information, even though they believe
they are. (When people are asked whether they are biased, they say no.
But when asked whether they think other people are biased, they say
yes.) Partisans who watch presidential debates invariably think their
guy won. When talking heads provide opinions after the debate,
partisans regularly feel the people with whom they agree are making
careful, reasoned arguments, whereas the people they disagree with
sound like they have cloth for brains."
