*The media seems to be well informed and dutiful to their data collection tasks. Unless I actually know something about the subject they are covering. Then the holes and glaring bias is easy to see...
*You really can tell who has power in a group or society based on who you aren't allowed to criticise. This becomes especially apparent when that "criticism" is actually just opinion.
*There seems to be a modern issue where people feel that criticising a work (using opinion) is the creative equal to making something new. Where people are seeking validation in their lives, by being as hard as possible on not just anything they see or hear, but everything. Always...
*At the same time, people will stick with established techniques and tricks, merely because they are tradition, without understanding that at times, though not always, doing so means passing by something better.
*Finally, we all have blind spots. Places where it is nearly impossible to see our own weaknesses. The big problem with this is that people on both sides of an issue will insist they are correct, and even fight over it, when the real answer might be something that neither side is willing to admit at all.
