> I guess the difference is "old media" is held more accountable than "new media" when they lie. Except they are not. It is amazing, for example, how many times the BBC conveniently fails to correctly attribute an interviewee. So many times somebody is given a generic job title when they are actually working for a political lobby organisation for example. |

In what way is new media more accountable?
It seems the vast majority of Twitter accounts spew lies. In the last few years it seems to have become even worse for social media.
I can write a complaint to the BBC for them to run a retraction, social media embraces the division and lies because the platform is not responsible for the content.
I cannot envision at all how someone would consider old media less accountable than new media.
