They will almost immediately forget how broken our press is when they start obsessing about some non-Democrat again. Their brains are too stupid to remember things for long.
What was it someone called it? “The Next Page Effect?”
Where they were talking about how someone will read a newspaper, see an article with a topic they are familiar with and say “Hey, that’s bullshit!” But then turn to the next page, forget, and keep reading the rest of the newspaper and not think that maybe the other articles are just as bullshit as the one they were knowledgeable about
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.
