Gell-Mann Amnesia: Why We Trust Dishonest Media w/ James Corbett & Jordan Schachtel - Ask Dr. Drew

Why do we continue to trust the media even after they've been proven wrong so frequently? Michael Crichton called it "GellMann Amnesia." ••「 CALL IN & LINKS」•• "In shortwhen we actually possess expertise in the subject under examination, we almost invariably find media representations of that subject are lacking at best and outright lies at worst," summarizes James Corbett. "But, for some reason, once we turn the page or flip the channel, we go right back to believing that the other journalists and authors out there actually know what they're talking about."

James Corbett is an awardwinning investigative journalist who founded The Corbett Report in 2007 as an outlet for news and information from an independent perspective. He has lectured on geopolitics and journalism at the University of Groningen, the French Institute for research in Computer Science and Automation, and Kyoto’s Ritsumeikan University.
