Even the major papers have had some pretty serious gaffes in the fact-checking department in recent years. That's kind of the major complaint with modern media houses: they don't do their purported jobs anymore. Book publishers don't really edit and promote books anymore, they leverage established e-authors. Game companies don't make new games anymore, they rebundle old games with a slot-machine monetization system. And news media doesn't edit or fact check anymore, they fight for clicks. Mmmm, those sweet, sweet clicks. Come children, we shall eat well tonight.
