I get a sense, after this golden shower gate fiasco of potentially faked 4chan created news defaming President-elect Trump, there will be a debate about journalistic standards and ethics.. a report, one page at best and ripe with spelling errors, was broadcast to the entire world. Buzzfeed wrote a sensational headline and followed it up with a smaller print ‘supposed’ and ‘alleged’ … they say they got the report from a person ‘claiming to be a former British intelligence official.’
When tabloids broadcast sensational rumors that Obama had trysts in limos the media ethically and correctly decided not to even go there. This time??
Something isn’t adding up.
Remember the Hulk Hogan lawsuit of Gawker? He won. And there WAS a tape. In this instance it’s an allegation .. and no fact or source checking..
Fake news sunk ago. Maybe real news did too.
