A lot of what looks like media bias, is really just laziness. They gave up fact checking a long time ago. John Stossel and Bernie Goldberg have talked about this a lot. Some groupe releases a study with some ALARMING results and they just run with it, with out checking a damn thing.
In a case like Teo, they love heart breaking or heart warming stories. So they don't bother to check.

The media's objective is to make money, not actually break the news. If a story gets readers or viewers, they'll run with it. They couldn't care less about "truth."

I agree, but I think the public shares a lot of the blame. People demand lightning fast news, at any cost. The media is just giving people what they want.
