Wrong. They showed much much more than just checking for accuracy. Several "journalists" asked specifically for advice on how they should characterize their articles. They were part of conversations with campaign staffers on what angles to choose to pursue for their articles. Worst of all, they directly passed debate and other interview questions in advance to a certain candidate. The media, and frankly those who buy into the "it's all because of fake news" nonsense, ignores this evidence at their own peril.

I think you're confused by the meaning of "Source?". Or you're just doing meta trolling reinforcing the point of the OP.

  Here's but a few of the many "sources" my friend: Lisa Lerer (AP) writing an article about Clinton's "Wall Street problem" and "she is asking if we wish to characterize her remarks in any way." /podesta-emails/emailid/36373 DNC & Clinton campaign staff being given the opportunity to provide CNN with questions to ask Trump in an upcoming interview. /dnc-emails/emailid/27526 Mark Leibovich (NYT) allowing clinton campaign to edit his article - they're literally picking what to include and what not to include in the article. /podesta-emails/emailid/4213 DNC staff saying Kenneth Vogel (Politico) gave her his story in advance (per an agreement?), and that if there's anything the Clinton campaign doesn't like, she can "push back". /dnc-emails/emailid/10808 Campaign staff discussing how to push back against successful Sanders attack of showing Clinton as being the "establishment" candidate. The strategy involves getting bloggers and columnists to "write about this from a racial justice and reproductive rights perspective, including a few people who joined us on a call to talk about the "Bernie Backlash" that was unfolding even before his remarks last night—current list is Elianne Ramos [HuffPo], Jessica Valenti [Guardian] (who is writing a column on this as we speak), Jamil Smith [MTV/Viacom], Sady Doyle [Guardian, The Atlantic], Aminatou Sow, Gabe Ortiz [WaPo, Univision], and others". /podesta-emails/emailid/56243 And of course we can't forget Donna Brazile getting caught red handed giving debate questions in advance... Of course it would be foolish to expect corrupt media cronies, who socialize and schmooze regularly with a certain candidate's campaign staff, to expose their own corruption.
