> Also, keep in mind, humans write these stories. Getting one thing wrong here or there is not an indictment of that writer or their publication, if it's handled properly by printing a correct or retraction.

This is the normal feeling I think we've had for decades. The recent ten years or so has felt much more as though:

- certain news stories are just not reported if they are going to send the wrong message. E.g. reporting on the BLM organisation (on both sides)

- certain news stories are just built out of nowhere and even if technically retracted, are not retracted with the same force as they were generated. E.g. Covington kid reality on the left, Covid facts on the right

Perhaps it was always this way, but that's how it seems to me.
