- mikercampbell 4y agoThis is where I feel like reporting goes terribly wrong. Failure to correct stories like this just cements the wrong idea. It's not slander, but it's like slander by omission. It's as if bad news and boogie monsters sell better than "we reported incorrectly" I know, but still.
- rlt 4y agoIn this age of search engines and social media “amplification” a correction wouldn’t even be sufficient. The original story will always be more salacious than the correction, thus more widely shared and more likely to appear in search results (unless Google etc somehow weight the correction higher, I have no idea if they do)
