>The problem is the weight of all these organizations on one side of the political spectrum. When you turn on your computer, or you walk past the TV, or you see a newspaper headline in the grocery store If they’re all saying the same thing, the weight of that convinces you that it’s true. You don’t question it, because everyone is saying it. Unless you seek out Breitbart on your computer, you’re probably not even going to know what the other side is saying.
This is the 4AM Mockingbird drops in action — Anons knew about this months ago.
But it also confirms something that I have long suspected.
It's not just about "making sure everyone is on the same page" in terms of media coverage.
It's about confirmation bias.
If all the media outlets are reporting the same thing, they must all be right, right?
We're trained to look at online reviews and if there are 47 4- and 5-star reviews and only 3 1-star reviews, the 1-star reviews must be outliers. But if the 4- and 5-star reviews are all generated in a review farm in China while the 3 1-star reviews are the only actual real reviews, we'll end up missing that.
People give more weight to the majority opinion if there is near-agreement — that means it must be right…. right?
