There's that too, of course, but I mean that they can literally - for instance - get tens of thousands of retweets by posting a photoshopped photo on their verified Twitter account tied to their employer that happens to go viral because it confirms people's existing beliefs, and that doesn't hurt their career in the slighest: https://archive.is/vx4z1 https://archive.is/vx4z1 (I've even caught at least one journalist just outright making stuff up on Twitter, though I can't remember who and when off-hand.)
Oh, at least ten thousand of those retweets were post-correction, as is usual on Twitter.
