Ironically, I've half convinced this is a problem the "mainstream media" helped create. I think the endless race to get the news out first, has trained us to expect so much information in the first minutes or hours - and created this problem of what happens when "information" appears before facts do. Nature abhors a vacuum, and I believe the pressure for instant news is creating one. We really can't act surprised when the vacuum is filled. It's a tough nut to crack though. I'm not sure I fancy the idea of google & facebook becoming arbiters of facts - but neither do I want to see them doing nothing.
