Talk:Media was wrong before

This can apply to other things

This fallacy can apply to people and science as well. Perhaps it can be moved?—Hamburguesa con queso con un cara  (talk • stalk) 15:43, 15 April 2017 (UTC)

We already have that article, I'd merge them. Christopher (talk) 16:13, 15 April 2017 (UTC)

IMO: The talking points are very different, and the responses must be very different. For example, unlike science, media isn't a gradual accumulation of facts that hope to slowly approach the real truth -- it's a 24/7 real-time reporting effort. That's why the "media was wrong before" claim is stronger than the scientific one -- because media has less ability to correct itself, and because trust in media is so much lower than in science.
