“‘Facts First” is the tagline of a CNN brand “‘Facts First” is the tagline of a CNN branding campaign which contends that “once facts are established, opinions can be formed.” The problem is that while it sounds logical, this appealing assertion is a fallacy not supported by research. Cognitive psychology and neuroscience studies have found that the exact opposite is often true when it comes to politics: People form opinions based on emotions, such as fear, contempt and anger, rather than relying on facts. New facts often do not change people’s minds.” Read the rest of our “Cognitive biases and brain biology help explain why facts don’t change minds” article, which is linked in our bio.
