Generally, I think. At least for me.
The media has gotten too addicted to clickbaity headlines and pushing drama. The drama is exhausting, and the headlines border on misinformation.
It has gotten so bad that I find myself routinely checking the comments first to see how the author misinterpreted or twisted some fact to arrive at the headline. That, plus realizing you’ve fallen for the Gell-Mann amnesia effect again, and you have a perfect recipe for distrust of the news.
It really feels like the only legitimate newspapers left are The Economist and FT.
- tatrajim 3y agoI have curtailed my reading of both The Economist and the FT over the past few years due to their increasing stridency in coverage of American politics and tone-deaf reporting on East Asia, prompting me to realize I had likely succumbed to Gell-Mann amnesia effect.
