Confirmation biases in selective exposure to political online information: Source bias vs. content bias (2017, background): “…individuals choose to attend to attitude-discrepant messages, they will not be influenced by them (e.g., Taber & Lodge, 2006), while other studies (Knobloch-Westerwick, 2012; Knobloch-Westerwick et al., 2015; Westerwick et al., 2013) find that attitude-discrepant exposure produces attitude change.”
