Is our downfall our media obsession??

[Rochard]

Very interesting thread really.....

I recall recently that one news source posted that someone died, only to retract it because it was put online "by mistake". Turns out the news organizations have obits in place before people die and one got put on line by accident. But the damage was done and it quickly hit message boards.

It's gotten to the point where the news is being reported too quickly, and mistakes are quickly spread around the world instantly.
