There are of course a couple groups and individuals that I’m sure are not acting incompetently, but they’re likely to go down with the ship.
"No research"? That's just hyperbole.
It's a logical fallacy to attach errors made by individuals to everyone in a group.
You should make a more cogent and specific argument if there is going to be an interesting discussion.
The logical counter to "the MSM sucks" is there are millions of media stories, some are going to be wrong.
How many times is it acceptable for false reporting to make it through to being published?
Is the practice of media outlets rebroadcasting the reporting of others contributing to the speed
at which errors are spread?
