For the naive, the unwary and the downright credulous, it's a rollercoaster of baffling news headlines, social media pitfalls, and jaunty celebrity death rumours – a white-knuckle ride on the misinformation train which leaves the nerves shredded and the skin slathered in a cold sweat.
After college, where I got a couple of boyfriends and relegated my fondness for Hollywood Nazis to the kingdom of nostalgia, I started a blog where I aired my anarchic moral grievances at Bush, the U.S. empire, the complicit Democrats, mainstream gays, the credulous media.
But Valeant, a Canadian but New York-listed drug firm, now meets all of the tests: a bad business model, accounting problems, acquisitions, debt, an oddly low tax rate, a weak board, credulous analysts, and managers with huge pay packets and a mentality of denial.
Rob Reiner's "Shock and Awe" ends with a clip from a 2015 episode of The Daily Show in which Judith Miller, whose coverage of the buildup to the Iraq war in The New York Times was widely criticized as credulous, spars with Jon Stewart.
The narrative inadvertently casts American presidents, generals, diplomats, spies and others who have been part of the war effort as credulous dupes and casts poor light on the American military, stuck in a quagmire despite having the world's most advanced weapons and largest financial resources.
The more refined end of that spectrum might include "Body Heat" (Tuesday), Lawrence Kasdan's sweat-drenched 28 rehash of "Double Indemnity," starring Kathleen Turner, in her first film role, as a femme fatale and an on-the-rise William Hurt as a credulous lawyer.
The more refined end of that spectrum might include "Body Heat" (Tuesday), Lawrence Kasdan's sweat-drenched 1981 rehash of "Double Indemnity," starring Kathleen Turner, in her first film role, as a femme fatale and an on-the-rise William Hurt as a credulous lawyer.
And it's worth noting that while the DBCFT failed because of a toxic brew of interest-group politics and partisanship, the rest of this stuff didn't happen because, despite the breathless coverage from credulous journalists, the Roadmap was flim-flam from beginning to end.
Incentives push toward keeping and copying data rather than deleting it — and using it to, say, quietly target the credulous with ads for snake oil, limit the groups who see certain real estate ads or serve African-American voters with ads designed to depress Election Day turnout.
The site auto-plays Rick Astley's "Never Gonna Give You Up." It's a meme older than dirt, and a classic internet bait-and-switch: deceptive text or a disguised link would lead credulous people to the forgettable '80s jam instead of whatever they were looking for.
Moviegoers, of all people, should know that truth is not to be trusted; yet we are credulous creatures, with a sweet tooth for the authentic, and so, week after week, directors continue to reassure us that what we are about to witness is rooted in fact.
But as ubiquitous as the phenomenon is, and as plentiful the studies that demonstrate it, the placebo effect has yet to become part of the doctor's standard armamentarium — and not only because it has a reputation as "fake medicine" doled out by the unscrupulous to the credulous.
He was more credulous than a number of his fellow clerics about another episode, when six children in Medjugorje, a tiny village in southwestern Bosnia and Herzegovina, reported in 1981 that the Virgin Mary had delivered tidings to the public and, eventually, secret messages to them.
Whatever prompted his choice — loss of heart, alienation from the Democratic Party's 1968 shambles, or credulous hope that Nixon might actually end the war in Vietnam — it was a wan coda to the most dramatic and exhilarated (indeed, the only) self-reinvention of his long career.
If a man who helped found the Anthology Film Archives and counted the groundbreaking director Jonas Mekas as a friend sincerely believed that Christ rose from the dead, maybe I could watch the resurrection of the wife in Carl Dreyer's "Ordet" with credulous wonder after all.
For starters, the fact-checkers seemed to be overly credulous in buying into Mercatus's counterspin: The Post even stated that "the main point" of the study was to show the $32 trillion in new federal spending and the tax increases that would be necessary to implement Medicare-for-all.
Kavanaugh and the rest of Starr's investigators concluded that it was indeed a suicide, but only after an investigation that critics alleged was unduly credulous toward conspiracy theories that Foster was murdered and having an affair with Hillary Clinton (Kavanaugh and his investigators actively pursued the latter thread).
Séances were previously performed at Whitechapel Gallery in London, MUSAC (Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de Castilla) in León, and Documenta 13 in Kassel, and in these contemporary art contexts — with audiences more critical than credulous — Fumai shifts her focus to questions about artistic inspiration rather than spiritual possession.
And even for those in the press inclined to look critically at whether his tweet actually meant anything at all, the result has been a news cycle spent shooting down those early, credulous reports, and ultimately establishing that ... nope, nothing has changed, and Trump's tweet was substantively meaningless.
He's exploited that trust to sell homeo-therapy, psychic readings, and magic weight-loss beans to his credulous audience, eschewing recognized science and evidence-based medicine to the point that many of his fellow physicians have called for him to be outright removed from his position at Columbia.
And with the leaders of both countries having initially declared confidence that this decades-long dilemma would be resolved by their hands — credulous public or not — the self-set expectation leaves much room for criticism and pressure in the administrations of both Moon Jae-In and President Trump.
This being a Nichols movie (as opposed to a Marvel production, say), the pursuers are not outright villains, or credulous dolts, but plausible souls in extremis, and I liked the uncritical tone with which Sevier, interviewing cult members, asks what they saw in the blaze that emanates from Alton.
Besides, Biden is explicitly running as the person who'll restore dignity to the White House in a way Sanders isn't — a message that is more vulnerable to the relentless drumbeat of Hunter Biden "bombshells" from Fox News and partisan Republican investigators on the Hill and credulous coverage from the mainstream press.
Bannon might wax sentimental about the country's white working class — whom he lovingly calls "deplorables" — but he treats them as endlessly credulous, riling them up with stories about immigrant caravans and the boons of a trade war while offering them nothing more concrete than the fireworks display of watching the establishment burn.
She also remains an outspoken champion of progressive causes and, in the view of some, an endearingly credulous kook: the same who raised eyebrows and risked derailing her career with her 1983 book "Out on a Limb," a rumination on life and afterlife, alien visitors and the migratory properties of the human soul.
AWARD FOR CONNING THE TECHNICALLY INEPT To Craig Wright, for briefly half-convincing people who should have known better that he is "Satoshi Nakamoti," Bitcoin's creator (he isn't) and provoking this incredibly long, incredibly credulous, incredibly cringeworthy London Review Of Books piece by someone who's clearly never written a line of code in his life.
Twitter's own internal investigation last year found that "during the time period we investigated, the 22019,814 identified IRA-linked accounts posted 175,993 Tweets"—and the Mueller report notes that these Tweets were shared, discussed, or retweeted by right-wing celebrities like Sean Hannity, quoted by credulous media outlets, and even commented on by Trump himself.
Opinion Columnist Every now and then, when credulous Western observers aren't fawning over China's high-speed rail network or calculating the precise moment when its economy will become the world's largest, a news story breaks through to remind us that the People's Republic remains what it has always been: a place of fear and cruelty.
But one window into how the meat in fake sausages gets ground can be found in the buccaneering internet economy, where satire produced in Canada can be taken by a recent college graduate in the former Soviet republic of Georgia and presented as real news to attract clicks from credulous readers in the United States.
Not only have United States-Ukrainian relations been thrown into chaos — a major win for Moscow — but the American president himself, and his closest confidants, are showing them precisely which political cleavages to target, which social fractures to aggravate and which narratives — however invidious — have already gained currency among a credulous subsection of the American electorate.
Mercifully, the Financial Times ignored that everyone was hunched over but still delivered credulous reporting that this "war room" was doing something useful: Facebook has assembled a team in Dublin to monitor for misinformation ahead of European Parliament elections in May, gathering 40 people at its European headquarters to fight against any attempt to manipulate the outcome of the vote through its apps.
While understandably skeptical of such astral flights and their pastel visions, Gottlieb is careful not to mock the credulous believers, reserving his disdain for the right-wing huckster and felon (now presidentially pardoned) Dinesh D'Souza, whose "Life After Death: The Evidence" tries to annex eschatology as another battlefield in the culture wars, where the Christian righteous smite the atheist rabble.
This panic was followed by a round of more sober coverage characterizing Momo, and the challenge, as a "hoax," warning credulous adults that they were opening the door to trolls who might actually enact elements of the myth to get a rise out of people, and that they were themselves needlessly exposing children to violent concepts by engaging with the story themselves.
And then wrap your head, once more, around the fact that if you had told me that, you might have set in motion the utter annihilation of the human race—the whole notion of the butterfly effect being that small-scale events (telling a credulous thirteen-year-old he has bad taste in movies) can generate massive, unforeseen consequences (World War III, nuclear apocalypse, etc.).
Given how much more pervasive web live streaming and mobile devices are than they were seven years ago, and given an expected increase in US visitors to the country because Markle's an American, the viewership and economic figures could be higher this time, though probably not as high as the billions of viewers and billions in economic growth some credulous observers have predicted the wedding will generate.
Here is a sample of the reactions: Later this morning, Trump followed up with more tweets: In addition to being remarkably credulous about the commitments made at Riyadh, Trump is so eager to claim that his visit was a success that he is trying to take credit for an avoidable and potentially dangerous regional crisis that may undermine a U.S. war effort and might possibly even put Americans at risk.
But the truth of the matter is clear, and explains why Ivanka's not going to stop, and why credulous stories about her private struggle will appear every time her father's administration offends the world: Ivanka isn't a failure, but a swindler of global proportions who has supplemented her preposterous fortune by pretending—in a not particularly convincing way—to play an inside game she really has no interest in.
The only clear winners, and we've looked hard to find them, are hard-core climate deniers like Scott Pruitt at the Environmental Protection Agency and the presidential adviser Stephen Bannon, and various fossil fuel interests that have found in Mr. Trump another president (George W. Bush being the last) credulous enough to swallow the bogus argument that an agreement to fight climate change will destroy or at least inhibit the economy.
And then their investigation, which focuses on a couple of random, comic Trumpworld figures and comes up empty, gets taken up by a credulous media, which spins a narrative of noble G-men and legal eagles who are supposedly about to reveal Putin's baroque, dating-to-the-1980s conspiracy to install a puppet in the White House, knock out our power grid and probably poison our precious bodily fluids as well.
Mr. Nisbet, who recently published an article headlined "The Trouble With Climate Emergency Journalism" in the journal Issues in Science and Technology, warned that fever-pitch coverage could make climate science go the way of dietary science, a discipline that has suffered, in his view, from credulous reports of new studies that regularly upend conventional wisdom — fat is bad; no, carbs are bad; no, eat like a cave man.
If you put these two together — an intensely hostile and dishonest conservative movement combing every word and act for anything that can be distorted, plus a mainstream press endlessly credulous toward each new faux scandal — and then add, in 2015, an intensely hostile and only moderately more informed Bernie Sanders coalition feeding in their own faux scandals from the left, you have, to put it mildly, a inclement information environment for Clinton.
Because consumer-facing brands are such effective attention magnets, and because so much media coverage of their marketing efforts is credulous and brand-friendly (advertising doesn't exist without someplace to buy space, after all, and most media doesn't exist without advertising — BuzzFeed notoriously deleted an op-ed critical of Dove's marketing tactics after publication), these requirements for how we talk about our bodies and those of the people around us have seeped from the ads into the population at large.
" (Those of us whose existence was made possible by "immigration and cultural mixing" will wonder what Stern believes this "grave loss" is supposed to be.) Finding an archived version of Karadzic's website when he was posing as a faith healer, Stern notices the site's subtitle — "The Ever Increasing Need for Alternative Viewpoints in the Modern World" — and her reaction is credulous, earnest and downright bizarre: "This seems like a good way to describe his reasons for wanting to speak with me, to expose me to alternative viewpoints.
Entirely missing are the hapless (or, if you prefer, foolish, or credulous, or maybe just plain greedy) individuals who climbed aboard the bandwagon — earnest dreamers who thought they were buying a retirement haven on a beach but ended up with a patch of fetid swamp; small-time speculators who made some fast money, then crashed while reaching for yet more; the thousands upon thousands you can find lingering at the finishing line of any speculative mania, left holding nothing but scraps of worthless paper.
Here's my full story... FOR THE RECORD, PART ONE -- Vox's Dara Lind: "7 times the Mueller report caught Sean Spicer and Sarah Sanders lying to press..." (Vox) -- CJR's Kyle Pope: Mueller could "finally be the turn that convinces a surprisingly credulous White House press corps—credulous in spite of everything we've seen—that Trump's words have lost their value, that his history, now enshrined in Mueller, of lying to and about the press to further his interests and save his presidency should now be reflected in everything we say about him..." (CJR) -- NYT's Michael Grynbaum chronicled how TV journalists unpacked the Mueller report in real time... (NYT) -- Politico's Andrew Restuccia noted that the Mueller report "shatters" repeated claims from Trump aides that there was not turmoil in the White House... (Politico) -- Important not to overlook this: "Mueller discovered new ways Russia attempted to interfere in the 2016 election..." (CNN) Two "Mueller Report" books are in the top 10 Right now the Skylark version of "The Mueller Report" is No. 3 on Amazon's best selling books chart, while the Washington Post's version is No. 8.
