looking for the failed assumptions and data errors in the current status quo is critical thinking, and to dismiss it as 'bias' shows you know fuck all about anything.
Your failed logic is also pretty poor showing. To conclude as you did "in your world one cannot accept the mainstream story while being rational" is a wild extrapolation based on nothing but the shit that resides in your ego.
If a mainstream idea holds up to scrutiny (say, a spherical earth shape and an orbit around the sun), then yay, go mainstream.

Looking for the failed assumptions and data errors in all beliefs is critical thinking
Critical thinking isn't just about challenging the official story. It's about subjecting all beliefs and information to critical analysis. And what you see on this site and read it, is people are more than willing to accept crap sources for things they want to believe while having exacting standards for things they don't believe.
It's a direct result of your improper definition. If you altered your definition as I did above, then you have a pretty good one. As you stated it, your definition is incomplete and leads to this result.

now you show a doubling down of your failure to think critically. You made an error, but work to pretend you didn't, rather than accept truth and grow.
