I don't actually have much of an issue with stories breaking and being retracted, crap happens and everyone is trying to get the jump. At least they get retracted.
My distrust of the media comes from stories where I know the background, when the topic is the company I work for, or something I am involved with, (particularly when I was in the military) and even though the facts are true they are written in a way to cast a bad light on something, without presenting both sides of the story. All too often articles are written in a Michael Mooreish manner, and when I can't read an article where I know the story, how can I belevie the ones where I don't?
