They know they've achieved their goal, so it doesn't fucking matter anymore. Pieces of shit. 
Nobody reads the retractions. Say any goddamn thing you like. Print the retractions on page 13 in small print three days later.
This is probably the first small change I’d make to make journalism less shit - If you have to print a retraction, you have to do it one level elevated from where the original story was.
If the original story was on page 2, the retraction is the front page headline. If the original story was front page, the retraction is the front page and a header on every other page. If it was on the front page of your website it needs to be a disclaimer above every article for a week. If you said the lie on Friday afternoon cable, your main block the next 2 nights should be about your retraction and how you fucked up as well as the next Friday afternoon and evening slots. If you posted the lie on Twitter, you have to spend a day where all you post is “Retraction - We got this wrong” and no new posts.
Yeah at this point it's completely factored into the propaganda
usians are the most propagandized people on earth
This fucking war has enraged me to no end.
So much sensationalism that ends up being straight from someones ass, yet NO ONE bothers to cross check it, or even focus on anything else about the situation that led to the war.
And when they are proved as false, still NO ONE cares anymore.
People should be ashamed for falling for all this too
X happened
X didn't happen but the fact that I could think that it would makes it just as bad
I believe that he believes that he saw them
Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
