Eventual Failure of False Belief Systems January 7, 2021 9:00am by Barry Ritholtz   It is a surprisingly complicated question. The answer depends on many factors: what you got wrong, by how much, the impact of your error. The repercussions for getting something very big very wrong varies dramatically, depending upon the inherent feedback loop of that particular practice area. Think about what occurs when surgeons or airline pilots get things wron...

Head, just use common sense. >> thats damaging. >> "the washington post" and others should the journalists that work for your newspapers, "the new york times" use the words racist and liar when talking to president trump when clear evidence he does do those things. >> we should and do. it is not for the purpose of name call but it is an accurate label. it is parallel being in the position of defending the media. things have improved dramatically since the 2016 elections in terms of how we are co...

Candidates has fox news in their corner. and so there remains only one candidate who nobody has tried on yet. one candidate who might not have a fox news problem. and who has the great asset of being very, very explicitly underestimated. particularly here on this set on this tv show. are all of these guys really in play? do they all really have a shot? apparently they do. if newt gingrich does, they all do. okay not rick santorum but the rest have gone through this. we sort of expect them to do ...

Republican party voters. republican party voters watch fox. and they watch very little else. and if fox says no, it is hard for them to say yes. in defiance of fox. at least its hard for them to defy fox for long. thats part of the reason i think why the newt gingrich surge has been wobbly and short lived. thats why even if ron paul is able to hold on to his lead and win in iowa a week from tonight, no one believes that will translate into electoral. like when they picked huckabee. or buchanan c...
