Take any subject one’s an expert on and see how it’s haphazardly summarized and portrayed by the media, that really wakes people up to what else they’re probably lying about. I’d say I’m somewhat of an expert on a relatively benign product that’s been demonized by the media for years. Hearing the disinformation spread by major media outlets with nearly every local news station is close behind, it’s eye opening. One time a friend witnessed some event can’t remember, he was on scene and got interviewed by a local Fox affiliate a decade ago, they edited his interview and aired it to say the exact opposite of his intent, hasn’t trusted hardly any media ever since.
"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.
Everything they write is a lie, so just look up how many articles they’ve published in the last 4 or 20 years
