Has Rolling Stone actually fired any of the people involved in its retracted story? When Rolling Stone makes a blunder of this proportion they have no business talking about Americans believing falsehoods.

Nobody was fired, as far as I know, but the editor certainly resigned (http://nypost.com/2015/07/30/rolling-stone-editor-quits-same...).

While I agree with what the article is saying, I would go a bit further. The main aim of the news is to disseminate today's propaganda, and to shape the public mind so it is ready to receive the propaganda of tomorrow. That it also can pay its own bills is not essential, only nice to have.
