Something that doesn't make sense:

[dornbeast]

I know a few people who are suspicious of the government, or the mainstream media, or other information sources.

Without exception, they are also prone to believing anything that supports their bias, regardless of the reliability of the source - and the sources they point at are usually as unreliable as can be.

How does this make any sense?

Confirmation bias?

...Okay, that makes sense in a psychological way...but it still confuses me. If they suspect one source, why can't they be suspicious of all sources?
