Believing all media are biased pushes people toward sources biased in their favor.

Evidence

Since the audience for news now consists of so many partisans, the line between traditional and alternative media has blurred, and many now prefer to get their news from sources that adhere to questionable values for truth telling. Indeed, many cannot even tell these days which sources are biased. And if one believes that all media are biased, perhaps it makes less difference to choose an information source that is biased in one’s favor. — Lee McIntyre, Post-Truth, 179
