[…] people are often inclined to consider their existing attitudes and
beliefs to be true and filter the news through this lens. Thus, they accept
messages in order to maintain their original perceptions. […] bias in the
local media [...] ser ves as a means to fuel and perpetuate hatred. This is
a role the media has and continues to play with regards to the conflict
over Nagorno Karabakh.
