What is the name for this phenomenon?

If sharing/consuming information that validates what we believe to be true is confirmation bias – what is it called when being exposed to negating information still reinforces our beliefs?

I’m pretty sure it’s a common phenomenon that has to do with how our memories work, but I can’t remember what it’s called.
