"'They’re biased, so they’re wrong!' That’s a fallacy. We can call it the bias fallacy. Here’s why it’s a fallacy: being biased doesn’t entail being wrong. So when someone jumps from the observation that So-and-so is biased to the conclusion that So-and-so is wrong, they commit the bias fallacy. It’s that simple. In this post, I’ll give some examples of the fallacy, explain the fallacy, and then suggest how we should respond to the bias fallacy." https://byrdnick.com/archives/11072/the-bias-fallacy

If your objection to something is just “it's biased”, then you do not yet have an objection.

Qualitative Research Methods in Argumentation Studies Edited By Corina Andone, Marianne Doury, Sara Greco, Kati Hannken-Illjes, Menno Reijven This book explores the core principles, related theories, and conventions of qualitative research methods within the field of argumentation studies. In each chapter, contributors identify, contextualize, and offer solutions to various issues that a qualitative researcher in argumentation is likely to encounter. In doing so, the book provides a set of guidelines, instruments, and recommendations that enable readers to effectively conduct research and analyze arguments. Furthermore, the book presents discussions of the ethics, validity, and reliability of qualitative research methods as well as the intersections between qualitative and quantitative approaches. Looking to the future, chapters explore what the field could learn from other disciplines and how research could better integrate alternative data sources.

Das Zeitalter der Unmittelbarkeit: Wenn Fiktion die Realität und Vernunft in den Schatten stellt Um ein Problem zu verstehen und zu lösen, muss man zunächst alle Elemente zur Verfügung haben. Diese intellektuelle Anstrengung, des Recherchierens und Verstehens, existiert nicht mehr oder nicht mehr in dem Maße, wie wir sie früher kannten.

Verlieren wir angesichts der Dominanz der Fiktion und des Verlangens nach Unmittelbarkeit unseren kritischen Sinn? Vernunft versus Emotion. #KritischeAnalyse #Medien #Gesellschaft #Argumentation
