Their irresponsible bullshit can do damage.  I guess that's okay, since that's just how it's done these days.  They don't deserve to be let off the hook.

While I also wish that journalists would only report with reliable sources/credible information, it's just not going to happen. With the popularity of social media and the access to instant information, everyone wants to be first. In the race to be the first to break a story, a lot of times misinformation gets passed on as facts a lot of the time.

While I don't agree with it, I'd rather get accurate information later than inaccurate information immediately, that doesn't seem to be the common thought process among the masses.
