It’s a terrible episode, but a good reminder that few things are as dangerous to journalists as confirmation bias. In journalism school they told us, “If your mother says she loves you, check it out.” When we fail to apply that skepticism, we get into all kinds of trouble — PolitiTweet.org

@Petar_DRC i think there are always going to be groupthink narratives in the culture, which are sometimes created and often just amplified by the media also ‘contrarianism’ has a really bad brand right now since it has been embraced so hard by the fascists — PolitiTweet.org
