True.
But I also recall not that long ago, some people would criticize news outlets for being behind or not as fast as other networks.
Having instant information is consumer driven, and unfortunately so are most media outlets. It's difficult, if not impossible, to have a media outlet ruled by principles if money and viewership is their bottom line. You can have fast and you can have accurate, but you can't have both.
