Mary Trump shared her theories after a series of incidents involving her uncle and female journalists
In the most recent incident Thursday, the president lashed out at a journalist who asked him about the D.C shooting suspect, asking if she was a “stupid person”.
Just one day before, Mary Trump had addressed her uncle’s previous run-ins with female reporters on her show, Mary Trump Live.
“His misogynistic attacks against reporters in particular are increasing and that means a couple of things,” she said. “It means that he’s increasingly comfortable lodging such attacks,” she continued, before reeling off a list of targeted groups. “There’s no hiding it anymore.”
The president’s niece also theorised that the sharp rebukes he delivers when questioned could be a sign that the pressure is getting to him in his second term.
You’re still missing the point. The Streisand Effect describes a specific chain of events.
A rich or powerful person sees something that literally no one else has noticed, attempts to supress it, and by making the attempt, calls vastly greater attention to the item they were trying to suppress.
There’s no survivorship bias to it, because if any of those events are missing, then it’s not the Streisand Effect. It’s just attempted, or successful, suppression.
And again I say that the author of the linked article, also has a misunderstanding of the Streisand Effect.
I would love to see some scientific data or analysis of this. Until then, it’s an internet-described phenomenon and though it appears to make sense, can only be taken so seriously.
