      Question: what level of evidence (there in their reporting!) is needed to make reporters/pundits give up their false archetypes/stereotypes?https://twitter.com/davidfolkenflik/status/845637801186131972 …

      The problem with these false frames is that they persist over years and define the public debate a lot more that the detailed reporting.

      Especially striking to see them regurgitated in pieces where the false frame is belied by every other line of detailed! great! reporting.

      But it's like getting the headline all wrong. The headline plus the framing define most of the impact; not the otherwise correct details.

      Seriously, every line of that piece belies this lazy, false stereotype/cliche—but that's what gets traction.https://twitter.com/edatpost/status/845599379989938177 …

          It's like people don't read their own reporting. "To sum up, let me ignore everything I wrote and fall back on obviously false cliches!"

          They won't. They say HRC is a "weak" candidate. But she is the only female candidate ever to be taken seriously. Ever.

          .@zeynep Great point, IMHO the problem lies w *editors* being either lazy or imposing their own spin w headlines that belie the reporting.

          Long ago, I wrote a deep op-ed to the NYT re how I thought they could add financial value to their paper by reducing editing bias.

          I think it comes partly from politics reporters who don't know the difference between sales and marketing/branding

          How can anyone write that piece and that sentence at the same time? Baffles me.

          To me it implies that Trump could be effective if he would just learn policy, but that would be fallacious extrapolation.

          We can put to rest that Ryan knows policy. No longer the wonder boy. Am actually hugely disappointed to have to acknowledge this and in him
