Best Answer

Information that is inconsistent with some given statement can be said to cast doubt upon that statement, which is to say, it makes it harder to believe the statement in question. If, for example, someone says "I am a kind man" and you point out that this person beats his wife, that would cast doubt upon his claim of being kind.
