[QUOTE="85Escape, post: 828219, member: 3560"] Like many of us on this board, myself included, people look for any evidence that supports what they believe. Confirmation Bias is the most insidious type of bias, because more than almost anything we want to have been [I]right all along. [/I]Our egos are fragile things. Media types are no different and are likely worse than many on this board. The moment they see evidence that supports what [I]they had been paid to predict[/I] they'll be all over it...whether that is us losing a game or UNC winning a game. "Howell puts the team on his back and rights the ship" is a story that has likely already been half-written. The media types had crowned Howell one of the big things this year, and any evidence to the contrary is seen as an outlier while the slightest glint of evidence to support it is touted over and over again by color commentators.
