In my experience, giving bigots mainsteam airtime has quite the opposite effect of providing confirmation bias. Don't you remeber the glorious defenestration of Nick Griffin on BBC QT?
If you want confirmation bias you'll gravitate towards the filthy ends of You Tube, Facebook and TOR.
You have to give extremism daylight, otherwise - like a mushroom patch - it'll thrive in the shade.
And by extremism, I mean of left and right and religious.
