Most people do not mind politics when reading articles heck most people dont want to care or know a thing about politics themselves, offcourse there will be people with a bias but really its a small percentage .

And movies and games can suffer from the same like you see with Star Wars.

confirmation bias is NOT really small, the majority of people suffer from it, most unknowingly. People generally read content they agree with. This is a well understood phenomenon, people that agree with something are generally not capable of objectively evaluating it. Yes only a small percentage might be intentionally screwing with the ratings, they are not the problem, the problem is the majority that will be unknowingly screwing with it due to confirmation bias.

have a read, not the best article, but it does explain some of the problems quite well. https://www.theguardian.com/media-network/media-network-blog/2014/may/13/internet-confirmation-bias

I will give it a read, it looks like to be alot of guessing and opinions  and mostly i rather read scientific articles about this.

Thanks for sharing , you will get a pm about what i think of it in the next days.
