First story bias

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.

Jamard: I heard that some guy and his Hispanic ex-girlfriend got into a custody fight over their pet dog. They gave the dog to the woman, even though she has a lengthy criminal record. They should have given it to the guy.

Owen: Hey. You’re a straight, Caucasian male. Check your privilege.
Jamard: Dude, recheck all of your biases. The woman is upper middle class, had a criminal record, and some of those charges were for neglecting to take proper care of their previous pets. She also had cheated on her ex-boyfriend with some famous street rapper from Miami, Florida. Would you care to enlighten me about how it is acceptable that a person with that type of background was given custody of the dog?
Owen: Point taken. You’re right.
