I wonder if all media participate in such disinformation on purpose...
- ben_w 8y agoNo need to assume malice. If someone got 90% in an essay they’d be top of the class, from what I remember at school. What would journalists score if tested the same way?
- tdb7893 8y agoMost of the mistakes are pretty simple errors and with how many news articles are printed each day it would be weird not to have errors like this (also it's essentially impossible hundreds of journalists could be communicating with each other in some grand conspiracy, that would unravel insanely fast). It's the same as most software bugs are legitimate errors, there have been purposeful ones but most aren't.
- merinowool 8y agoIn some countries media are licensed, so they can't publish things against guidelines. They risk losing their license also it is easy to label such leak as conspiracy theory (term coined by the CIA by the way)
