Level 2
Professional journalists print this stuff because they really want it to be true.
Jill Lepore wrote a tedious article in The New Yorker a few weeks ago arguing that policing in the US was born in support of slavery. She quoted a figure in there that 66% of the visits to emergency rooms by 15-34 year old men were the result of injuries caused by police and security guards. 66%! Of course, any reasonable person would look at that figure and say, “What??? That can’t be true“. But that passed muster for various editors and “fact checkers” for over a week after publication. Why? Because it conformed to their beliefs and, frankly, hopes. Majority of New Yorker readers swallowed it whole as well.
Of course, Jill isn’t a professional journalist. She’s a little lower on the rungs of professional achievement.

unfortunately they need to readjust their sights because their aim has been off for centuries.

And they bury it way back in the paper so they really don't have to look bad.
OR they get sued and have to pay out of their asses to a teenager for smearing him. Sound about right?

Its too bad they pulled it down. They didn't give our 2 favorite Libbie's a chance to link it here.
You know, because the Wapo is cutting edge in news stories. As much as the National Enquirer.
