Gell-Mann Amnesia Effect

I'd argue that all this backlash is justification for why we don't typically have to worry about the Gell-Mann amnesia effect. When something is egregiously wrong in the news, people talk about it, and we learn. As long as you're reading about something that will critical and knowledgeable people also reading it, then you should feel comfortable knowing that no backlash means it's probably fine.
