The sharing of only evidence that supports one’s own standpoint is referred to as "confirmation bias." This cognitive bias occurs when individuals favor information that confirms their preexisting beliefs or hypotheses while disregarding or minimizing evidence that contradicts them. In discussions or debates, this can manifest as a selective presentation of data, leading to a skewed understanding of an issue and potential misinformation. Another related term is "cherry-picking," which specifically refers to the practice of citing only those points or data that support a particular argument while ignoring relevant information that may counter it.
