- scohesc 2y agoNobody seeks out corrections and clarifications. Nobody meaning, 99% of the population that reads news.
- SideQuark 2y agoAnd some people cannot even admit they're wrong about claims they made up, despite them being trivial to check, and such people even sometimes double down on that mistake and make up more false claims. Is it any wonder such people defend Musk for his ignorance and childish behavior? How about demonstrating how one should admit being wrong and offer a correction, since that is what you're complaining others don't do properly.
- defrost 2y agoTo clarify then, The Guardian and many other newspapers of record admit their mistakes and publish corrections despite your claim that they do not. Got it.
- aeternum 2y agoThey sometimes do, but they publish it in a place where no one reads it, perhaps by design. They could publish it to the front page, especially if the original article was front-page. Elon has also admitted many mistakes in the past especially around tweets. You can find these easily if you listen to all his podcasts and appearances but again most people don't and the corrections gets far fewer views than the original spicy take. It's more similar than you want to admit.
