I don't go by that, it sounds like a recipe for disaster, too many stories propagated by major news orgs that were later retracted over the years.

- bryanlarsen 11mo agoSuch stories are notable and egregious because they're rare. They definitely do happen -- the NYT carrying water for Bush's Iraq war agenda to preserve access particularly bothers me. Perhaps a small number of such events are "too many", but they aren't common in reputable media.
