I bet audience for the current stuff has fairly little concern about the Iraq war failures—why mechanisms impt.
Even assuming that's true (depending on def of "concern," I'd disagree, esp since these people staff military)... @ThusBloggedA

... why is it less of a problem that people w/more direct impact on policy consumer their own fake news? @ThusBloggedA
-
Didn't say less of a problem. Said different mechanism; conflation obscures what analysis needs to do.
-
Does it? If people doing the analysis thereby have luxury of ignoring the fake news they consume, that is problematic @ThusBloggedA
-
Agree it's critically important to understand different mechanisms by which fake news gets delivered, and to whom. @ThusBloggedA
-
But the elite frankly loves fake news. Just not the kind that is currently popular among non-elite right now. @ThusBloggedA
-
Different points; both are significant issues. Not wanting either forgotten is fine—I just oppose conflating them.
-
I guess I oppose defining ways such that analysts get to ignore their own short-comings. @ThusBloggedA

Everyone always wants to ignore shortcomings of their own role & institutions. That's an "and."
