It also seems that there is generally a shorter collective memory about veracity in news stories. The prime example to me is Bloomberg's seemingly baseless story alleging Chinese hardware-level hacking of US computing equipment. More than two years later, and Bloomberg still has not retracted the story [1]. It doesn't seem to me that Bloomberg has been discounted as a reliable source of news in the general discourse due to their reluctance to admit to their mistakes in their reporting of this story. At least in this case there is an apology. [1] https://daringfireball.net/linked/2019/10/07/bloombergs-big-crap https://daringfireball.net/linked/2019/10/07/bloombergs-big-...
