It’s very strange reading comments, reviews or press of any kind about yourself. Often (but not always) there are errors and distortions you only can recognize since they’re about you. It makes me really question how much I read about other people can possibly be accurate.

  Seeing reporting on a protest event I was involved in years ago made me very skeptical of the press. The did not have numbers or incidents correct, much less other items of fact.

  Similar to watch someone you are very close to go through this. Very visceral feeling of ‘how can they possibly get you THAT wrong?!?’
