Recorded sources
2 sources for · 0 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that people are more likely to believe information that aligns with their existing views?

Yes. An encyclopedia entry on confirmation bias describes the tendency to favor and interpret information in ways that support one's prior beliefs, which matches the claim. A popular business book also notes an echo-chamber effect where people are more likely to believe news aligned with their networks.
