This is a huge part of why I stopped watching “the news”. “Representative X said A. When asked about it, representative Y said they were wrong so B. Now sports.” Huh? Who was right? Was it a matter of fact you can judge? If so why don’t you? Even on opinions there is usually good contextual facts you can add. But when you just repeat crazy or dangerous or factually incorrect you normalize it. And by never calling anyone out on things you signal it’s all equally correct. “The president said F. We said no, G. He said but F, H, and I are all true, I said them. Sunny tomorrow…” Soundbites without analysts are horrible. Repeatedly letting people get away with lying about objective facts and continuing to give them airtime to say it is useless. Reporting “science” that comes from press releases on non-reviewed pre-release papers in journals no one has heard of that contradicts what you said was real last week destroys trust in science. And telling me feel good stories about kids who started lemonade stands to pay for their own chemo completely misses the point. And I don’t care about Kanye. It doesn’t matter other than the fact that at this point people appear to be taking advantage of his mental illness. But no one is covering that that I’ve seen.
