Get the brown biasmug. Term describing a mindset of a person when they are unable to see another viewpoint/or the truth in a situation. It's when a person has heard about a "story, opinion, or report" from one person first and believes that this is the truth. This occurs when a person's mind is closed and incapable of hearing and understanding another viewpoint or report because they completely believe what they were told initially about a person or situation is the truth.
