*Bump*

Interesting op-ed from the Deputy Editor of the Jewish Chronicle in the UK over the failings of the New York Times, identified by others online.

TL;DR: The NYT scraped emotive fake news from Twitter, being propulgated by people with an agenda and stuck it on its front page. Others online did the basic fact-checking the NYT should have done and showed where it was false.

The age of 'papers of record' doing all the investigative journalism is dead, but while people online can be interested in spreading conspiracy theories and fake news - others online can be determined to get to the truth and shine a spotlight upon it.
