Exactly this. - A claim is made with apparently uncontested evidence like a video, picture, quote, article, or endorsement. - Knowledgeable viewers see the story and realize something is wrong. - Meanwhile, the original claim starts to get spread by the "credible" media such as newspapers, TV, and online publications. - Critics then mock and complain on social media about the claim. - The regular news eventually catches up and makes new stories over the corrected claim without a reference to their original claims. Hold these people accountable and don't give them your attention. Journalism has lost much of it's integrity.
