I'm gonna be honest, I don't like "tattletale media" either, and I wanted to read this article, but, wow. Other comments are calling it "subtle", I'm finding it pretty hard to read:
> primary objectives are control, censorship, and the destruction of reputations for fun and power
Primary objective is clicks/outrage, "WHO said WHAT?" is a big driver of outrage/"angry media"

Wow... A lot of vitriol here. No attempts at nuance or any understanding of why lies and misinformation can be dangerous, or how to respond to misinformation with discussion and correction rather than censorship. Just anger.
