| 9f7b280 | Disproportionate coverage in the news media plainly has effects on readers and viewers. When Esther Madriz, a professor at Hunter College, interviewed women in New York City about their fears of crime they frequently responded with the phrase "I saw it in the news." The interviewees identified the news media as both the source of their fears and the reason they believed those fears were valid. Asked in a national poll why they believe the c.. | Barry Glassner | ||
| 53902b5 | Simply put, the representation of events in the media does not track their frequency in the world. As sociologist Barry Glassner notes, the murder rate in the United States declined by 20% over the course of the 1990s, yet during that time period the presence of gun violence on American news increased by 600%. If you want to be a good intuitive Bayesian--if you want to naturally make good predictions, without having to think about what kind.. | Brian Christian | ||

| 7a8ef78 | In nearly every episode of fear mongering I discussed in the previous chapters as well, people with fancy titles appeared. Hardly ever were they among the leading figures in their field. Often they were more akin to the authorities in "War of the Worlds": gifted orators with elevated titles. Arnold Nerenberg and Marty Rimm come immediately to mind. Nerenberg (a.k.a. "America's road-rage therapist") is a psychologist quoted uncritically in s.. | Barry Glassner | ||

Em seu livro , Barry Glassner afirma que "aquelas criadas somente por maes apresentavam taxas de renda e educacao basicamente igual aquelas criadas por pai e mae.

| f25f1ef | We should give thanks to NPR, CNN and the Southern Poverty Law Center for identifying the real causes of racial tension in America. It isn't terrible schools, or black fatherlessness, or constant race-baiting from hucksters like Al Sharpton. No. It's a cartoon frog. If | Milo Yiannopoulos | ||
| ee2bf4c | Charlie Hebdo is a rare example of a leftist newspaper that understood radical Islam to be akin to the radical religious Right. Actually, that's too mild, it's really closer to the radical medieval religious Right. I know members of the radical Christian Right in the United States, and they are scary. But nowhere near as scary as Islamic terrorists. They're the Westboro Baptist Church with machetes. | Milo Yiannopoulos | ||

| 0b68690 | If I could tell my colleagues in the media four things, they would be: 1.Everyone hates you. 2.No one is afraid of you. 3.No one believes what you say. 4.Nobody owes you anything. If every journalist in America realized those four things, their behavior would transform overnight, immeasurably for the better, and the US might finally get the fourth estate it deserves. | Milo Yiannopoulos | ||
| 8ac78c6 | Progressive identity politics ignores basic human realities. If you live authentically as yourself there will be repercussions. Not everyone will like you. Some people may even want you dead. As Friedrich Nietzsche said, "Man is the cruelest animal." This is a fact of life and it is not changed by all the abuse and harassment policies in all of Silicon Valley. Progressives will never understand this. Identity" | Milo Yiannopoulos | ||
| 3d42578 | If I were to put the current state of the science fiction genre into SF terms, it would be a space ship under attack. I won't say which ship I'm thinking of, because this introduction would quickly dissolve into insufferable megafans arguing about whether or not the Enterprise could take down an Imperial Star Destroyer (no way in hell). | Milo Yiannopoulos | ||
| 59f3029 | Identity politics is universally attractive because it enables failures and weaknesses to be spun as the products of oppression and historical injustice.
