'Briefly stated, the Gell-Mann Amnesia effect is 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.

In any case, you read with exasperation or amusement the multiple errors in a story, and then turn the page to national or international affairs, and read as if the rest of the newspaper was somehow more accurate about Palestine than the baloney you just read. You turn the page, and forget what you know.

That is the Gell-Mann Amnesia effect. I'd point out it does not operate in other arenas of life. In ordinary life, if somebody consistently exaggerates or lies to you, you soon discount everything they say. In court, there is the legal doctrine of falsus in uno, falsus in omnibus, which means untruthful in one part, untruthful in all. But when it comes to the media, we believe against evidence that it is probably worth our time to read other parts of the paper. When, in fact, it almost certainly isn't. The only possible explanation for our behavior is amnesia.'

Michael Crichton

"Those media liars had better be careful, our patience in not infinite! If these lies keep up, "we may just have to sew they're lying mouths SHUT!" (cue massive cheers)

Paraphrasing, but the message is still clear.

How about when the right guys claim that the counter protesters didn't have permits? Is that dishonest spin? http://www.nbc29.com/story/36099395/city-of-charlottesville-grants-two-permits-for-counterprotests-of-unite-the-right

The jewish medias are to blame for the lies that fill liberals heads

While the media did not start the fire. They sure did fan the flames....

That is why we need to realize that it is not the foot soldiers that are the real enemy, it is the lever pullers hiding in the background. We need to spend some time shining a light on them and then begin the purge.

We have a lot to thank Soros and co for.

Watching them constantly deny reality is starting to get frightening.

The giant news media needs to be broken up.

I agree. They are dangerous. Even though the ratings they have are as fake as they are, they still have some influence on weak minded fools. The most harmful part of this is the fracturing of information and the lack of a central source of news that is just news.
