> If you have a way to prevent things like this prior to their happening, I'm sure these newspapers (and many other industries) would love to hear it.

Don't run with a story until you can verify it? I know that would have stopped them from running 90% of their anti trump stories because there isn't a lot of evidence for them but if they actually did that as a whole, I don't think trump would be president.

People still underestimate how well trump is able to play the game of calling out the media for crying wolf.

> Until then, things like this will happen. Assuming all media is bad because of these incidents is silly.

I'm really not dismissing all media, I'm just applying different standards to different outlets based on their biases. If i see a story on WaPo about something bad trump did, it better be well sourced and founded otherwise it goes in the trash.

Same with breitbart or any other right wing outlet, If they are making a claim that fits their narrative then you should look purely at the underlying facts and cut out the speculation.
