Some people expect presumed trusted members of the media to have done their due diligence, and if their organization finds out they’ve been had, they’ll proclaim it loudly rather than running a few unmentioned edits to the online article.

Plenty of blame to go around here.

Somewhere between Edward R. Morrow and Bernstein/Woodward, we picked up the idea that journalists were the highpriests of Truth. They are largely guys that do a job for a boss who gives them a paycheck. It’s our fault if we rate them higher than auto transmission repairmen.
