I miss my paper too. We were talking about getting the daughter a
bird. Was telling herwe just line the cage with newspaper, then
thought about how the only time theres a newspaper here is when
somebody dies so we can cut out the obit. So now, do my daughter to
have a pet, i have to get into murdering people i know.
I guess that means tha the decline of print media will lead to
increase in central illinois homicides.

Newspapers less so but you gotta know the bias going in.
In Utah we used to have two really good daily papers. The
Deseret News and the Salt Lake Tribune. Both date way back. One
pro LDS church and one anti LDS church. The Des News does not
really exist as a daily and I don’t think either of them print on
paper. I had to read both to get the best idea of what was going
on with any issue. I miss my physical papers. They sure filled
up the garbage can though.
I mostly ignore national news on TV, radio and podcasts. Used to
listen to NPR all the time. It used to have jazz locally for
lotsa hours each day. They took that off and gave us first Juan
Williams, really a good interviewer, then Diane Rheme. I really
disliked her.
Don’t much listen to any NPR anymore. Just WBGO listen live.
Good jazz.

It's like Joe Rogan now saying that he's going to give equal
time to science versus the BS he's spreading on his podcast.
Does that make the BS any less BS?

Thats exactly it for the issues that actually exist, thanks.
Now i need to know what its called when the issue is
imagined after an event.
Similar to the game i play with my wife where i ask her if
the kids feel warm and 99 percent of the time she "feels" a
fever on their forehead

You guys are a bunch of nerds, somebody has to know the
term Im looking for to describe this phenomena.
When an inert even triggers customers to believe there
is an issue that doesnt exist, or they notice an
existing issue and assign it to the event.
Some examples:
You put up a notification that site A is undergoing
maintenance, so a customer on Site B that is totally
isolated sayas that ever since that maintenance, there
has been a problem.
We did a mass change of our defalt WPA keys on managed
routers. Probably 1 percent of the customers claimed
that "ever since the change" there has been some issue.
Changing they WPA key wont impact performance.
I just completed a network wide rate plan naming
convention change, every non custom account will have
anew name for their rate plan on their invoice. this had
zero service impact, its just clerical, but as the bills
go out, probably 1 percent (probably that same 1
percent) will call in with an "ever since the change"
complaint.
Im not looking to argue with the customer as to whether
there is an issue or not, Im simply looking for the name
of the phenomenon.
Id like to incorporate this into tier 1 support training
so that this doesnt continually generate nuisance
escalations. Some reference material on it would be the
bees knees. Everything has a name, like Petrichor: the
way it smells outside after rain or Phosphenes: the
lights you see when you close your eyes and press your
hands to them.
