Looking for evidence to back up the way you already feel about something is an example of Confirmation bias.

<h3>What is confirmation bias?</h3>

Confirmation bias is the tendency to search for favor, and recall information in a way that confirms or supports one's prior beliefs or values. It is a type of cognitive bias that involves favoring information that confirms previously existing beliefs or biases.

For example, if.a person holds a belief that left-handed people are more creative than right-handed people

Confirmation bias is a psychological term for the human tendency to only seek out information that supports one position or idea and this causes you to have a bias towards your original position because if you only seek out information that supports one idea, you will only find information that supports that idea.

It should be noted that falsification bias is the opposite of confirmation bias and this means you actively look for evidence that disproves your point of view rather than confirms it.

Flura [38]

In the modern era, the equivalent practice of using the presidency as a bully pulpit (Theodore Roosevelt) could best be summed up in the phrase, "going public". President Theodore Roosevelt took an unrestricted view of his job. In two administrations, he never hesitated to take his case - controversies - directly to the people (a Presidency called “bully pulpit”). He was the typical proactive President of the 19th century.

Bully pulpit is the ability to use the Presidency´s office to influence Congress to accept legislative proposals. An active use of the Presidency’s prestige to inspire/moralize.
