To be fair (?) I think reporting is not as much the problem as the death of editorial and fact-checking departments. This is the kind of mistake that ought to be caught by a process. It's sort of like saying programmers are getting worse because so many bugs get into code, and then finding out that, actually, all the unit tests and CI processes were turned off because they were expensive; the programmers may be worse, but in the end they aren't really the biggest problem.
