Be that as it may, my message to the media would be: if you want to retain any remaining shred of credibility you still have, stick to reporting corroborated first hand accounts, not rumors or opinions, at least for a while. Get on the ground, figure out what's going on, report it, in full and with evidence, good and bad. Don't just sit there and suck clickbait out of your thumb like you've been doing for the last decade.
