12	->''"Everything you read in the newspapers is absolutely true except for that rare story of which you happen to have firsthand knowledge."''
13	-->-- '''Erwin Knoll'''

15	This is when a work contains blatantly incorrect facts about another work that any fan of the work the mistake is about or -- in the most egregious cases -- even just someone with any kind of passing knowledge of said work would know to be wrong. It seems like some people just can't be bothered to do any fact-checking. Let's face it -- sometimes, it's easy to do.
16
17	While any kind of work can contain this kind of mistake, a lot of these errors come from the news. Newspapers, a NewsBroadcast, national news, etc.? It is in their job description to do at least ''some'' research, to make sure they aren't stating factual untruths.
18
19	This rule apparently doesn't apply much to works of fiction. Maybe the creators of the works that make these mistakes don't seem to care as much as about whatever effect it had. But that's no reason to make an error that could have been avoided by looking into the material a bit, especially if said error involves news media making serious accusations like blaming a child's death on imitating something they saw on TV. This often results in examples either factually incorrect, from minor to grossly wrong like the TropeNamer [[Anime/CowboyBebop itself]], or taking some "facts" from TheThemeParkVersion of a larger entity, which to some is much worse than just not doing the research.

21	Subtrope of ReferencedBy and CommonKnowledge. Compare ComplainingAboutShowsYouDontWatch. See also FandomEnragingMisconception (for particular errors that will incur the wrath of the fandom), AnimationAgeGhetto (when people dismiss various kinds of cartoons as family-friendly [[WhatDoYouMeanItsNotForKids when they, in fact, are not]]) and AllAnimeIsNaughtyTentacles (a problem endemic to {{Anime}} and {{Manga}}). IAmNotShazam is a key trope involved. Also compare FalselyAdvertisedAccuracy, the version for ''fictional'' works. Also see NewMediaAreEvil, though if you find yourself constantly annoyed by this kind of thing then you probably believe OldMediaAreEvil. May also overlap with a ShallowParody if the parodists in question are really careless with their research.
