It doesn’t matter, because “the media” doesn’t work as a concept. It’s a bunch of amateurs trained on nothing more than hiding the fact that they are not an expert. How much of the reporting from the media revealed that Theranos was a fraud? Anything that wasn’t was fucking useless because it’s just a megaphone for corporate PR, despite what they think. The entire concept of a weekly news is risible, let alone daily news. A fully investigated story actually worthy of the term journalism requires probably 2 employee years worth of actual work. Look at how many articles the NYTimes publishes daily, multiply it by 700, and then compare that number with the actual number of journalists they have. It’s a complete farce.
