Explanation:

Confirmation bias is a type of behavior to interpret, favour, search for,  and recall information in a way that strengthens or confirms  one's personal  or hypotheses or beliefs.

People exhibit what is called cognitive bias.  this bias is  when they interpret it in a biased way or  gather and  remember information selectively, or, when an effect is stronger for desired outcomes, or deeply-entrenched beliefs or for emotionally charged issues.
