it's called the halo effect
making judgements on little information and preconceived ideas

Well, if you are talking about the McCann case. I don't know the McCanns personally so how can I dislike them. I hate what they did that night and if we were to use statistics since we don't know what is the truth or not via the media some of us could say those who support them are blind also to believe there is no way the parents did something to her. You yourself called the kidnapper scum on another post when in actuality there is not one shred of evidence that she was indeed kidnapped. There never has been any evidence that she was kidnapped. I also will not accuse the parents of anything. Do I think there is more to this then a mere kidnapping. Indeed I do because statistically its the case and because well they are clearly bad parents who continuously put their kids in a dangerous situation. So no I do not feel I am blind because logically I see outside of the box and am aware that more could have happened then a kidnapping because there is no evidence of a kidnapper.

Objectivity and logical reason? !!!!
Ask yourself this, what % of information out there on the McCann case is actually confirmed and acknowledged as fact?
So by that very low % no one on this site can state an objective and reasoned view on the case. Its all just opinion. Anyone who is 100% sure one way or another is just a betting man - there are hardly any confirmed facts on the case out there to do anything else.

Of course it can and it happens to the smartest persons, too, as I have personally witnessed it.
Beyond that you have to make difference between "honest" and "dishonest" distrust and dislike. I mean, one may intentionally express staged distrust or dislike toward someone or something as a way to reach particular goals or effects (such as other's implicit submission, or in order to get rid of someone without explicitly telling him so, for example).
This second case is not so rare and bias our perception of distrust and dlsike when expressed by others.
