> Even within well known news outlets, blunders and retractions are relatively common

Are they really though? NYT for example must write thousands of articles a year and they're human. What's the alternative?

NYT writing on Ukraine in 1930s was repeated lies. Weak statement about the lies 80 years later: https://www.nytco.com/company/prizes-awards/new-york-times-s...

> write thousands of articles a year

yeah IMHO that's one of the reasons why this problem exists to start with. Back in the print days, "thousands of articles" was not the main incentive. In the "click count" days, it is. I don't have a solution, I'm just suggesting that this is part of the problem.

I disagree that there is a problem. The only problem that I see is people telling me that a free press is somehow the enemy.
