Move fast and break things is in journalism too. Its faster to just publish a story to hit the deadline, then if someone gets pissy over what you wrote to correct the article after the fact, than it is to do all your due diligence and make sure every detail is correct. Newsrooms are often in a race to publish ahead of others for certain stories too.

That's selling a faulty product and being highly deceitful. In no way can I support this.

  Its the reality of journalism. They aren't being deceitful, they just don't have time to validate each and every little detail. Its usually minor stuff though. The story takes place at King Auto and they accidentally use the address for Kings Auto Parts instead in the article, or something like that.
