I'm glad to see that someone (ribit?) was quick to give this article a star. The three rules for groupthink alone warrant it. They explain, among other things, why CNN and most news websites no longer allow reader feedback, and why clo and the Pfffarters do not permit dissent.

The three rules:

Rule One. A group of people come to share a common view or belief that in some way is not properly based on reality.

Rule Two. Because their common view/belief cannot be subjected to external proof they have to reinforce its authority by claiming ‘consensus.’ The idea is to emphasize that all right-thinking people hold this view and that it is no longer open to challenge.

Rule Three. Anyone who disputes this ‘consensus’ must be excluded from the discussion: at best marginalized; at worst openly attacked or discredited.
