You've created a spin to where the media can never technically be at fault no matter what.

This is a garbage defense.
Again. It's a softball question.
You claim that the media lies.
You cannot show an example.
Instead, you posted a story that was based on federal intelligence investigations at the time. The Post updated and corrected immediately as the information came in.
The media can most certainly be at fault. Great examples would be publishing that is purposefully and knowingly incorrect.
This is how adults act. They own mistakes.
The media makes for a good boogeyman, but so does the monster under my son's bed.
