Fitting facts to one's own perception or beliefs is not doublethink anyway. I won't argue with whatever type of naive real world skepticism is going on here (because that's a tiresome and futile endeavor anyway), but we must remember that doublethink is assenting simultaneously to the truth of two logically contradictory things. While that may involve the convenient bending or disregard of pertinent facts, that kind of activity is not a sufficient condition of doublethink.
