More oddly, the BBC’s reporting implies that the confusion that permeates during war—the fog of war—no longer exists. When the BBC hits the scene, the fog dissipates and we are left to choose between “disinformation” and “truth.” And this decision between “truth” and “disinformation” is apparently decided by the BBC’s government sources. BBC seems to not understand that this undermines a singular tenet of journalism—all governments lie.

Heh...


let’s say we have 10 people each with a TMC of 10.

the average is 10. so is the median.

the two are interchangeable in a homogeneous population.

but now consider a population with an outlier:

9 have a TMC of 10, one drops to zero.

Animosa brings its support to the Colombian people. Find out why
average now drops to 9 (10% drop).

but median is still 10.

drop a second person to zero, and average is now 8 (20% drop).

median is still 10.


(this would be about the same magnitude and outcome as the study shows)

so which do you want to trust for a medical outcomes study?

  • median makes it look like nothing happened.
  • but 1 in 5 people had their total motility count drop to zero. they were sterilized.
  • that’s a helluva risk factor to ignore.

Reuters Institute Digital News Report 2022

A SUMMARY OF SOME OF THE MOST IMPORTANT
FINDINGS FROM OUR 2022 RESEARCH.

• Trust in the news has fallen in almost half the countries in our
survey, and risen in just seven, partly reversing the gains made
at the height of the Coronavirus pandemic. On average, around
four in ten of our total sample (42%) say they trust most news
most of the time. Finland remains the country with the highest
levels of overall trust (69%), while news trust in the USA has
fallen by a further three percentage points and remains the
lowest (26%) in our survey.

• Consumption of traditional media, such as TV and print,
declined further in the last year in almost all markets (pre-
Ukraine invasion), with online and social consumption not
making up the gap. While the majority remain very engaged,
others are turning away from the news media and in some cases
disconnecting from news altogether. Interest in news has fallen
sharply across markets, from 63% in 2017 to 51% in 2022.

• Meanwhile, the proportion of news consumers who say they
avoid news, often or sometimes, has increased sharply across
countries. This type of selective avoidance has doubled in
both Brazil (54%) and the UK (46%) over the last five years,
with many respondents saying news has a negative effect
on their mood. A significant proportion of younger and less
educated people say they avoid news because it can be hard
to follow or understand – suggesting that the news media
could do much more to simplify language and better explain
or contextualise complex stories

Seeing Is Now Disbelieving
Theodore Dalrymple
Commentary

When I showed my wife, who prefers gardening to politics, a photograph of a high official of the U.S. government who had changed gender (but not sex), I’m afraid that she refused to believe that it was veridical. The ability to change or forge images is now so great that it makes Stalin’s removal from past photographs of those, such as Trotsky or Yagoda, who had become nonpersons, look amateurish and bumbling. Seeing is now disbelieving, and my wife disbelieved.

It’s the same with stories in newspapers. Reality, or some of it, has become so outlandish that, when reported, one thinks, “That can’t be true!” But, as I’m proud to have pointed out some years ago, satire is now prophecy. Think of something too ridiculous to be entertained, and it will become official policy within five years.

Therefore, when I read a story in a newspaper that a 66-year-old man in Scotland hadn’t been allowed to donate blood because he refused to answer the question as to whether he was pregnant, I thought simultaneously, “This can’t be true!” and “This must be true!”
