From an amazing Michael Crichton talk:

“Media carries with it a credibility that is totally undeserved. You have all experienced this, in what I call the Murray Gell-Mann Amnesia effect. (I refer to it by this name because I once
discussed it with Murray Gell-Mann, and by dropping a famous name I imply greater importance to myself, and to the effect, than it would otherwise have.)

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.”

Who is we? He got a mouse in his pocket? Anyone who still trusts the former MSM at this point is a moron

They are the Blue Locust Plague. They move in, consume, produce nothing but shit, destroy everything that was good and then move on and find another place to repeat the process leaving nothing but ruin and devastation behind.

Today's 30-40 somethings, who were indoctrinated their entire lives in school are now running the ad agencies. It's that version of the US taught in school they are implementing. Ugly people, mixed marriages (likely just shacking up) with Heinz 57 children, gay mixed marriages and more. They are also being given the reins of government to usher in their destructive beliefs.
