This is certainly true. Ascribing the early deployment of the SS to Barr and then calling the IG, the USPP incident commander, and USPP coordinator "liars" when there is no evidence of this* but plenty of evidence against, is a good example. There are several posters here doing that.

*No evidence except what they believe is being said in a video that there is no audio for and what they infer from videos based on their own bias and agenda.

A cognitive bias is a systematic pattern of deviation from norm or rationality in judgment.[1] Individuals create their own "subjective reality" from their perception of the input. An individual's construction of reality, not the objective input, may dictate their behavior in the world. Thus, cognitive biases may sometimes lead to perceptual distortion, inaccurate judgment, illogical interpretation, or what is broadly called irrationality
