Confirmation bias in search. Interesting to ask the same question in positively and negatively framed versions. Compare "Is Sheffield an unsafe city?" with "Is Sheffield a safe city?" Important for #MediaLiteracy #FactChecking and ...basically any situation where you are finding out information
Screenshot of google search for "Is Sheffield an unsafe city?"

First line of answer "CrimeRate ranks Sheffield as the most dangerous major city in South Yorkshire"Screenshot

First line of answer "Sheffield is generally considered one of the safest major cities in the UK. "
