I read the Times daily. Are errors corrected? Yes, and duly noted, including, for reference, the original error. In this rush-to-press ethos of modern journalism, I give credit to organizations that actually correct the record.
FWIW, I don't see a way around this. First-to-press gets the eyeballs. Eyeballs generate income. If you have another viable business model, please post it. The current one is not my preference either.

Violation of privacy and outright false "reporting" are vastly worse than the supposed MSM failings you cited (or others that have been thrown around). Errors of intent are not accidents, nor is it acceptable that nothing is outside the public veil. I'm surprised you think so.
Intelligence is not knowledge and knowledge is not wisdom, but they all play well together.
