OF THE
TIMES
Briefly stated, the Gell-Mann Amnesia effect is as follows. You open the newspaper to an article on some subject you know well... You read the article and see the journalist has absolutely no understanding of either the facts or the issues. Often, the article is so wrong it actually presents the story backward—reversing cause and effect...
In any case, you read with exasperation or amusement the multiple errors in a story, and then turn the page to national or international affairs, and read as if the rest of the newspaper was somehow more accurate about Palestine than the baloney you just read. You turn the page, and forget what you know.
You will never see a letter from the occupied country of Palestine as to their full arrogant intent to bomb the Iranian embassy in Damascus in the...

Though some(or all) of this be true; I've been reading Snyder's stuff for over a year now. And, I've found him to be a real 'doom and gloomer',...
From the article: In 2009, Sweden's largest daily newspaper, Aftonbladet , reported testimony that the Israeli army was kidnapping and murdering...
Look at maps from pre-WW1. Here's what you won't find shown as "countries". In every single case you will see they are part of the Russian Empire:...

On the other hand, maybe they are better off not having it in the first place although I can't deny I appreciate that "Port Protection" show on Nat Geo as owned by Disney that displays a community in Alaska mostly separated from other places and reliant upon neighbors helping each other out.
Still, at the end of the day, I suspect it will be no big loss to not have access to these entertainment channels and truly - who has time to sit around hour after hour watching the actions of others on the boob-tube?
So begs the question what is all the fuss about and frankly once these shows are digitized do they not think others will take them and share them? I don't think artistry can be regulated and why should Russia follow rules made by others when others are trying the sanction the living daylights out of all things Russian? Fair is fair and truly if Russian artistry is lost to the rest of us, that is a price I'm not willing to pay. I love Prokofiev and other great Russian musicians.....Russian geniuses are in all the artforms and to suggest otherwise just shows how little your realize the genius of Russia and how connected we all really are.
I could give a crap if Disney, Warner Bros., Universal and the rest of them go into the dustbin of history - they don't deserve any support if they deny the genius of Russian artist. So, that is that.
