• A lot of "modern" media is told XYZ by company ABC and then says, XYZ is true, cos ABC says so. Did it fact-check? Did it assure it's TRUE? No. Welcome to "sayisms"... X says Y, we publish that "X says Y". WHERE IS THE JOURNALISTIC VALUE? You end up relaying and thus legitimising lies. This is anti-journalism, it's chaff.    

posted Sunday, January 26, 2025 at 18:09:10

• The WHOLE point of JOURNALISM is to SCRUTINISE what politicians, companies etc. say. So if some company says something, QUESTION IT and CHECK, do not relay... not blindly anyway. Relaying it gives companies and people incentive to lie, knowing it would be mindless parroted, no prospect of being ridiculed.
