probably the most core example would be trans rights. For example, the NYT and other outfits sort of went along with the idea that "trans men are men, even biologically speaking" but have sort of moved away from that. For example read the ongoing coverage about nontraditional genders in sports competitions, the tone has cghange significantly over the past 5 years (more backpressure).
I think for a bit the Times was basically writing whatever trans activists were tweeting, treating it like the literal truth, and got burned more than once and decided to move back to a more centrist "we support trans rights but there are limits, and saying so doesn't mean we're evil"
