It's Time to Inoculate Ourselves Against Slander and Falsehoods in the Media
Slander and falsehood will always be a part of the media, simply because it is easier way to illustrate a point than finding a true story to do it.   With the main goal to score headlines and grab votes, as opposed to enlightening the audience/electorate, making stuff up is the lazy reporter's/politician's route to success.  Quite often, even being found out doesn't matter: lying journalists and politicians gather a following because they speak to what their audience wants to hear.
