Gell-Mann Amnesia in action.

• throwaway0a5e 6y ago
  Someone needs to come up with a catchy name for a variant of the Gell Mann Amnesia effect where you know a source is willing to bend their presentation of facts for their agenda but ignore that knowledge when their aligns to your agenda. Because IMO that's a far bigger issue in 2021 than people innocently taking things at face value.

    Hmmmm... selection bias maybe? I think that’s in line enough with what you’re describing.
