We live in a time where people can just make shite up, hide behind anonymous sources, and within an hour the lies and fake news has made its way around the globe. Most people are too lazy to research for themselves and just believe whatever news hack
This has been the case since the beginning of broadcast media. The only difference is that social media gave regular arse people the same power that the news media had for decades.

Another major difference is that broadcast media has to have credibility for their product to survive against the competition. The 3 majors back in the 80's and before were competing against each other and all they had was their integrity.
I'm today's climate, with all of the "news sources" out there and the fact that page views is how a website's profitability is measured, honesty and credibility take a back back back seat to sensationalism and outrage inducing journalism.
