>> "there is no need to discuss because we obviously don't read the same media"

Man, I hear it ALL the time - that excuse is always thrown at my face. Doesn't matter if it is from the "right" or from the "left". The "right" have their sources of media and the "left" have their sources of media.

I had a similar experience with my brother. This was in relation to the Israel-Palestine situation. Everytime I bring up facts, he says - "so you think you are always right?". I say - "No, here are the facts - tell me which of my facts are incorrect". He says - "Just because you read more, you think you know more? I have my own facts". I repeat, "tell me even a single fact that I have told you that is wrong". He says - "you keep throwing your facts on my face. Who do you think you are? You think you are so great." And then he goes onto personal attacks - "You're insignificant! You're insignificant". I ask him again - "I'm willing to admit I'm wrong if you can tell me where I'm wrong and which facts I got wrong". At this point, he just hangs up the phone.

So how does one resolve this conundrum of not being able to agree on anything due to their own preferred sources that feed into their own confirmation bias?
