It's because most of the country has no integrity. If a newspaper did something like this 30 years ago they'd have instantly lost all credibility and gone out of business. Now it's just normal, because all of the morons continue to rely on proven liars for their news. It's sad.
This. The media industry has always been corrupt and full of liars, at least since colonial times, but in the past people were more aware of that and more critical of what they consumed. Uncle Walter pulled the wool over everyone's eyes.
Now people just want to be given confirmation of their biases, told what to be angry about, and told how to feel safe.
Any time anyone got caught lying in newspapers the writer was despised by everyone and the newspapers gave very public apologies. Examples and timeframe are difficult to remember because the press never talks about it.
You must not know much about history, because they used to do that shit all the fucking time..... With no way to correct them or get it fixed in most cases without the internet there to call them out....

I actually doubt they would, even back then.

Whenever they got caught, they had to fire the people involved and give very public apologies to stay in business. Now nobody even notices.
