      This is because you put everyone who criticises your misrepresentation of SH into a tribe of your enemies.

      Sad, really, because @ggreenwald knows how to be critical and a good journalist—just not when SH is mentioned… @NesrineMalik

      That’s just it. “Their own credibility” shldn’t be an issue. *A piece of work* is good or isn’t—the next one may still be shite.

      If I’ve learnt anyth in #journalism, it’s that *everyb* has a blind spot like that. Even w that factored in, GG is above avg.

      Well, he'll only lose credibility for the people who are interested in the area of his blind spot then.

      Why do you suppose that loss of credibility shld spill over into other areas? That’s the weird thing: for many ppl, it doesn’t.

          Well, w those who are uncritical across the board, it does. But for those who know how to be critical, I have no explanation.

          .@PeterMonnerjahn I'm surprised you think it unusual for ppl to doubt someone's integrity more widely once its been shown lacking in 1 area.

          I'm not sure that's an emotional reaction as much as learning from experience.

          But how do you learn from experience? Most ppl’d say: induction. But that’s just wrong. Cf: http://www.theopensociety.net/2011/10/science-learning-from-experience … @calciferion

          We judge ppl by their previous actions! If you lend someone money & they don't pay it back, don't lend again!

          Yes, we want to learn by experience. But if we think we do so by induction, that’s just bad thinking. Not the same. @calciferion

          Except, of course, the critical faculties being overridden by the emotion circuits. Don’t know how helpful that is…
