This is not a new thing - journalists have been sloppy with facts for a long time.
It is simply more noticeable now, with multiple sources of information.
- greenyoda 14y agoI think it's gotten worse with the coming of the web. When newspapers were printed once a day, they had a few hours to check facts and edit before press time. Now that a newspaper is expected to have a story published on the web minutes after it happens, there's much less time to do this. The newspapers have become much more like TV news.
