What’s changed? That’s always been the way news operates: we say it therefore it’s true. And it’s not just the internet…
We had a major traffic accident in a tunnel two days ago in Melbourne. All the free-to-air news services were explaining the causes before the police etc had been able to investigate! (And there would literally be 2 completely different explanations tauted as fact at the same time by different channels).
Most of us would rather a rumour NOT be complicated by the facts (truth be told)… Is that cynical?
