It seems weird that people (or maybe media) act like they want honesty, but if someone were to say "I messed up that time" that seems like a pretty big headline.
I'm annoyed that even changing your mind in response to criticism or evidence is loudly condemned as a "U-Turn". There's great pressure to pick a position early on and then stick to it, no matter how indefensible it is.
The media aren't interested in honesty and wouldn't recognise it if they tripped over it in the street. They're interested in feeding the scandal machine. If there isn't any scandal, make one.
