Saw this on Mastodon this morning from JA Westenberg:

The discourse cycle:

Day 1: Interesting study published Day 2: Journalists misinterpret it Day 3: Twitter dunks on journalists Day 4: Someone reads the actual paper Day 5: Paper is flawed actually Day 6: Everyone was wrong Day 7: No one learned anything

Repeat forever.

I see no lie.
