I think I found the answer: Media echo chamber - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Good find! I don't know how many times, lately, some legit journalism outlets take stuff from the internet without even doing any fact finding. It's a horrible situation.

But , yeah, that pretty much fits Josh's situation. It's like if one guy says it, says it again, then another guy picks up on it, and another and another. It becomes like a fad.

There's just no putting an end to stuff like that no matter how hard you try.

There was something a few months ago about how reputable magazines and newspapers are using wikipedia as a source. A well-known poet died so a college student made up a quote about death, attributed it to the poet and added it to the wiki site. The quote showed up in articles all over the world. The student contacted everyone and told them they had been had , but very few of them ever acknowledged the incident.

If they had publically acknowledged it (without being pressured to do so), they would have outed themselves as the lazy dimwits they are.

That is seriously appalling. What happened to journalists actually doing their research and using factual information? You know, what they're being paid to do.

Psssst. I'll let you in on a secret ... the people that are getting hired are not journalists.

And they probably have no idea what this book is AP Stylebook Online [2009]

"I'm Chuck Bass."

"Who cares?!"

Did you even remotely like any of the Gossip Girl characters in the episodes you've watched?

Well Chuck and Blair weren't bad - even if I just showed how much of a not-fan of Ed Wedstwick's Expression of Steel I am, and how him ending up in the dramatic actors poll confuses me. I remember liking Rufus (he's Dan's father, Dan is the "good guy" of the story, or at least he was in the beginning).
And I found Jessica Szhor very pretty. That's all, lol.

It's just that Gossip Girl had nothing really fresh or innovative, the only plus compared to other similar series was the extra attention on the wardrobe.
It bored me and fast.

Jessica Szhor is pretty from what I've seen, but her character appears to be very hated.
