|content=[[Morals|Moral]]: Massaging a single number is easy. Massaging a preference field is a lot harder.
“Cost of Living” is a Field on preference space. We don’t calculate preferences, taste change or real substitution effects. AT ALL. We are lying about inflation as a Cost Of Living framework.

|content=Dear @paulkrugman:
How about going further:
A) Why were so many other folks right about inflation?
B) Admit we pretend to calculate  “cost of living” inflation as a NUMBER when it is a FIELD on preference space and must be reported as such to be real?

Why are economists *pretending* to do Cost-Of-Living analysis? https://t.co/bGwhc25ogj

It’s effectively the story behind this tweet. Before 2011, outfits like @npr were left leaning news services. About 10yrs ago that changed.

|content=I used to talk to folks at @cnn, @npr, @washingtonpost etc all the time on inflation, physics, immigration, science policy, etc. Then, mysteriously reporters slowly started complaining about the situation at work much more. It seemed like we went from news with spin to narrative.

|content=Narrative driven news was the @nytimes special brand. On the one hand it *was* written with lively prose. On the other hand, I hated the idea that the narrative arc was constructed to fit facts that sometimes hadn’t even happened yet.
This idea of narrative beyond spin took off.

“We’re being pushed to be on Twitter.”
“Editors aren’t letting our best stories through as much.”
“I can’t use you any more if you aren’t going to play ball. It sucks. Sorry.”

|content=I can probably figure out the last time a reporter called me up trying to understand a story as opposed to trying to get grist for a gotcha piece. But it seems like years ago.
So what happened? Many democrats tried to go back to @NPR etc., but found a door slammed in their face.

|content=Eventually we took the hint. Journalism at prestige legacy media properties was changing. News desks were dropping stories entirely that didn’t fit house narratives. They weren’t forced to report them and spin them. They would just spike a story that previously would be a scoop.

|content=And this lead to a question: “If @FoxNews is willing to run and spin a story that @nytimes or @cnn is pretending doesn’t exist, do I go on that channel?”
Now at first you think “Why would left leaning media push smart left leaning academicians to the Right?” But then you get it.

|content=So you’ll see the following tweet: “If you want to know who Prof. ABC **really** is, look at where she chooses to appear!”
But the good doctor ABC isn’t making this choice. She is choosing not to be silenced by media that stopped reporting and started defending news narratives.

They aren’t making the choice you are being led to believe they are. Ask instead “Why did you CHOOSE @Fox over @NPR?”
And then you’ll learn why.

|content=The point of cancellation is making sure that you have to go on @joerogan to spread reasoned dissent. If you could really do it through legacy media it would FORCE hearings. It would force disclosures. It would force resignations. But experts can’t get the needed access anymore.

|content=Washington DC lawmakers make rules to restrict what USG units may do. Units almost always work around the letter of the law to thwart that intent when intent would negatively affect their ability to perform. Examples of this are everywhere.
