I'm thinking of posting a diary with a title like "10 fairy tales about the Greek economy" debunking the poppycock that "serious" news sites (not to mention economists) are propagating regarding the data before the crisis.

From my perspective: Yes.

Ever since I learnt about confirmation bias I've started seeing it everywhere
