The anchoring bias suggests that we favor the first bit of information we learn.

EXCERPT...

"People make estimates by starting from an initial value that is adjusted to yield the final answer," explained Amos Tversky and Daniel Kahneman in a 1974 paper. "The initial value, or starting point, may be suggested by the formulation of the problem, or it may be the result of a partial computation. In either case, adjustments are typically insufficient. That is, different starting points yield different estimates, which are biased toward the initial values."

Thus Fox, Corporate McPravda and the race to lie. For once the Lie is in our heads, it takes a lot of truth to get out. Sometimes, all the truth in the world won’t do it. Look it all the Trumplers.
