Learning about Bitcoin and then seeing the media coverage was a huge realization for me about the media. They ARE ignorant or willfully deceptive about things. And when you see it regarding a topic you know, you have to remember to see it about everything else. This phenomenon has a name: Gell-Mann Amnesia

This phenomenon has a name: Gell-Mann Amnesia

I knew the phenomenon had a name and sometimes even tell people how it works, but I keep forgetting the name. (It's like doubly-amnesia? lol.)

Thanks for reminding me. Again. I'm ~~definitely~~ possibly going to remember it this time...

I observed the same pattern after I deployed my own solar panels on my roof. The reporting in MSM was complete bullocks.

I didn't know it had a name, but I've heard of the concept before. And I can't even tell all the times the MSM have been wrong about electronics, electricity, and especially the power grid. The latter often corresponding to how they want reality to be, regarding intermittent power sources.
