Cognitive dissonance is deeply uncomfortable and most people will double down on whatever will validate their priors rather than face a preponderance of sources that contradict them.
Okay I am with you but to be clear these sources do absolutely have bias. There is no such thing as unbiased information.
Sure, but a genocide denier probably doesn't have that bit of nuance.
In this case they're biased for reality since there is a genocide happening in Gaza rn. But when the person saying this also dismisses a genocide as "not genocide, it's a war crime" and then unironically sites a source that's ran by Zionists, that's how you know you're not dealing with someone who is speaking in good faith on this issue
edit: wording, bit tipsy and I can't type rn
