06:16 <@Mirage> K`Tetch_: The point of that conversation was that the media should be held to a higher standard because of their higher ability to influence.
06:17 <@Mirage> Media outlets are also really good at reporting all the bad shit that they think will sell papers or get more viewers, but don't really care about retractions, corrections, or positive stories other than the occasional "fluff" piece.
07:32 <@Corydon76> Mirage: they are held to a higher standard already, by the very fact that we have libel laws in the first place.  Libel is for printed defamation.  Slander is spoken.
07:32 <@Corydon76> Damages are greater when there is malice.
07:33 <@Corydon76> That we've advanced communication to the point where private persons are now subject to libel is simply a matter of the law not keeping up with the times.
08:23 <@Mirage> Corydon76: If you look back I stated libel/slander
08:25 <@Mirage> And "reporting things that are presumed to be true" based on the fact that whomever makes the claim says it is is far from reporting the truth.   There also a little thing called 'responsible reporting' that seems to be ignored more and more
08:28 <@Mirage> In what universe, other than sensationalized media, is a high speed car chase occuring on the other end of the country actually national news?  What business is it to people outside of the local community that some teacher has been accused of anything deemed inappropriate, whether with a student or not.
08:38 < aestetix> I don't even need some kind of higher standard.
08:39 < aestetix> I'd be satisfied with a story that accurately reflects the source.
08:40 < aestetix> Right now, we get two kinds of stories: one that is a blatant copy of part of the source for lazy clickbait, or one that takes one sentence out of the source, and totally misrepresents it, for clickbait.
