Don’t remember the media apologizing for being wrong when they helped the government lie to go to war after 9/11.

But that's a separate issue, different circumstances and, mostly, different people. Similar to how they (in part) reported during epidemic.

But now they did something good and it's somehow nullified by the other things?

Also: You are promoting that we keep a grudge. Are you planning to let go of it sometime?

Also, in some cases the press did apologise, e.g. https://archive.ph/F3Ra1 . Fox news were notoriously the worst propagandisers in this case; I searched but could not find any apology from them.

Sure! Once the people responsible for the wars have been punished. Any day now...

Your right it’s different, but the problem is that I want a fair and consistent standard.

Shouldn’t telling the truth and apologize when you “accidentally” misinform the public be the standard?

They collectively have proven themselves to be untrustworthy and now they can’t be trusted anymore but some people continue to pretend they are authoritative sources of truth despite the facts that they help lie America into a war that kill many and caused massive financial damage to the economy.

I’m saying that people and corporations should be held accountable and responsible for their actions?

I have to ask -- why? Your population is hundreds of millions, you can afford to let go of bad people and replace them with better people. You don't need to let go of a grudge against war criminals and their media collaborators. They're not your family, or people that you simply have to learn how to deal with because you can't lose them.

I'm assuming here that it is a goal to get rid of such people eventually. Then that requires making steps towards that goal. Be unforgiving towards people who wield power unethically.

It puts in question whether they are acting out of good conscience now rather than just because they see it as advantageous for themselves.
