Media Misinformation

The radio station I used to listen to as a kid played pop music, but it also did hourly news introduced as "first, fast and factual." In other words, they wanted to be correct in what they put on the air. Perhaps it's a lost art, when less responsible broadcasters of today rush to air, or politicos act on, anything provided pre-packaged by someone with a partisan agenda and history of distortion & disinformation, without stopping to check the facts or consider the source.
