EVERY EXPRESS UK article is anti-Russia.

With no verifiable sources. And not one report how many Ukrainian soldiers are dead and that there is a shortage of local fighters.

It is so awful that all far left media sources are peddled on this site as truths about what is happening. You see very few using any sources from the right that are not RINO neocon oriented. People her are unable to the association between the Biden left and its media and this Ukraine drain.

I think this has made many people tune out here because if these sources lied before, they are still lying now.

No way will I accept WaPoo, NYT, MSN. Reuters, the express as source that print the truth.

“Briefly stated, the Gell-Mann Amnesia effect is as follows. You open the newspaper to an article on some subject you know well. In Murray’s case, physics. In mine, show business. You read the article and see the journalist has absolutely no understanding of either the facts or the issues. Often, the article is so wrong it actually presents the story backward—reversing cause and effect. I call these the “wet streets cause rain” stories. Paper’s full of them.

In any case, you read with exasperation or amusement the multiple errors in a story, and then turn the page to national or international affairs, and read as if the rest of the newspaper was somehow more accurate about Palestine than the baloney you just read. You turn the page, and forget what you know.

That is the Gell-Mann Amnesia effect. I’d point out it does not operate in other arenas of life. In ordinary life, if somebody consistently exaggerates or lies to you, you soon discount everything they say. In court, there is the legal doctrine of falsus in uno, falsus in omnibus, which means untruthful in one part, untruthful in all. But when it comes to the media, we believe against evidence that it is probably worth our time to read other parts of the paper. When, in fact, it almost certainly isn’t. The only possible explanation for our behavior is amnesia.”

― Michael Crichton
