Example: Last summer, they published a headline about Prozac in drinking water. I found the primary research source, and not only was Prozac not found (acetominophen/paracetamol was, and others), there was proof that SSRI meds are fully degraded in sewage treatment facilities. The whole thing was a lie.
Anyway.
Newspapers are in the business of selling newpapers (and the ads they contain). TV news is in the business of selling advertising (via ratings). They're not there to inform us.
