Even the "newspaper of record", the NY Times has lost its journalistic process.

This is just one recent example that comes to mind. See why Harvard Professor is suing the NYT [1] for completely twisting his post about MIT and Jeffrey Epstein [0]

I found this so outrageous how NYT would completely twist words and not make the appropriate corrections when given the evidence.

> "Lessig’s defamation suit covers a September 2019 article titled “A Harvard Professor Doubles Down: If You Take Epstein’s Money, Do It in Secret.” He claims the headline misrepresents his interview, where he condemns the donation, but says that “if you’re going to take the money, you damn well better make it anonymous.”"

If you see the egregious defamation there, then you're a more nuanced reader than I am.
