I don't know if what I've read is actual proof and a lot of this seems to point to "opinion" pieces on news networks, I guess. I have not done the legwork, but here are some articles I've found going towards what I stated:

In retrospect, though, I probably think it's more prevalent than it is in actuality. To be completely honest, the sensationalism by media outlets exposing misinformation by media outlets "on the other side" of the news gets to me, sometimes. As for corrections, though, mea culpa's seem to be a mid page item, at best =/
