Reminds me of when main stream media reported Pewdiepie was leaving youtube - they don't do any work and it's their fucking job, lol.

People should remember Murray Gell-Mann Amnesia effect:

Briefly stated, the Gell-Mann Amnesia effect works as follows. You open the newspaper to an article on some subject you know well. In Murray’s case, physics. In mine, show business. You read the article and see the journalist has absolutely no understanding of either the facts or the issues. Often, the article is so wrong it actually presents the story backward-reversing cause and effect. I call these the “wet streets cause rain” stories. Paper’s full of them.

The issue is that's a type of amnesia, people should remember the people who report it, (CNN, Mail Online, The Mirror, etc...) and treat them as fiction. Stop refering to them as "news agencies" or "media", it's either pseudo news or fiction.

I guess derision doesn't translate well through text. When I say "main stream media", it's in a negative connotation. As in "old hacks who are proven liars and don't deserve their jobs".

Awesome info on the amnesia effect though, thank you!

It is now. ;) That's what we've become as a society.

You're welcome. It's not that much of a recent event, the earliest Gell-Mann Amnesia reference I could find dates back to 2002. But it does seem to be getting worst in recent years.
