Cognitive bias.
Source bias is an unconscious social bias.
It gives undue weight to the sources of information.
Scrutiny avoided
- "Sometimes the source of information becomes more important than the information itself, and avoids any serious challenge, doubt or scrutiny."
- The Treasurer magazine, December 2018 / January 2019, p41 - Dr Pete Jones, Chartered Psychologist.
