Everyone's own bias prevents them from being an effective filter especially when their own factchecking is done in an echo chamber of their own bias.
I can see that for some people. However, if someones position is supported by fact, it's not a bad thing that they are biased toward that substantiated position.

I'm just saying that it's easier to tell who is prepared with substantiation and sound logic when you are able to see the entire dialogue that occurred rather than the clips the mainstream media tends to show. Also, there are still ways to spin a situation. But, it helps that lying is a punishable offence when giving testimony.
