The days of proper journalists relying on primary sources for their materials has long gone. But then why not just repeat what everyone else is saying. It's all about 'traffic' these days. It's like the purveyors of this crap have no responsibility over the stories that they spread, as long as they're out there saying it as well. If you've not read Nick Davies' Flat Earth News yet, it's a belter of a book. It'll destroy what little confidence in the media you still have, but that's no great loss, is it?
