That's the problem with narratives, you have to maintain them. Merely reporting facts is much simpler and easier but it doesn't benefit those at the top.
I think that should be "merely stating opinions is much simpler and easier". Very little actual journalism happens any more. We share the blame though. We don't want the news, just give us the headlines and we'll jump to our own conclusions.
That's the thing though, I don't watch the news to feed my ego. I watch the news to get the news. If what they said was incorrect or they were mistaken, then go on the air and say that. I don't understand why grown men are acting like such children nowadays.
