I forgot what it's called but there's an actual word to describe this sort of thinking. It's the idea where you can be reading a newspaper, notice that an article on a subject you know a lot about is just flat out wrong and full of nonsense that is at best incorrect and at worst actively malicious disinformation, and then you flip to the next page and read an article about something you don't know much about and then think "wow, that's really interesting, I didn't know that!", having somehow completely forgotten after the single page flip that the same newspaper you're reading had been completely and totally wrong just one article earlier.

I wish I could remember the word used to describe this phenomena, because it's a real thing and if more people took the time to consciously remind themselves of it I feel we'd all be a lot better off as a society simply because it would encourage critical thinking.
