Did the entire media industry misquote a Hamas spokesperson?
I think news articles lacking citations is one of more backwards parts of modern news. How is it that Wikipedia is more reliable and neutral than journalists and news?<p>I think there needs to be a journalistic standard put in place, and all news articles need to be held to that standard. Sort of like passing or failing a health inspection. It should at least include:<p>1. Citations to other media should be presented inline, like wikipeia, for every claim and every number.<p>2. Any media (photo, video, etc) should always be presented with metadata about date, place, location, and photographer.
