Hold on a minute there, you almost disappeared down that slippery slope...
All this piece is pointing out is that the difference between 'fake news' and 'real news' is the act of verification prior to publication. The thing journalists do, which makes what they publish worth paying attention to.
- WalterBright 10y agoI've been personally involved in some news worthy events, and then watched the reporting of it. The professional media was invariably sloppy and flat out wrong with many of the facts of the case. And these were events where there was nothing political - the reporters simply couldn't be bothered with fact checking. It's made me skeptical ever since.
