On the subject of 'fact checking', do see Peter Wilby in The Guardian, Monday March 17 2008 http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2008/mar/17/pressandpublishing2 ('Errors in omissions') for an old-fashioned, well-argued reflection on what is happening to professional standards of both literacy and accuracy in all journalism as proprietors and editors wilt under the multiple challenges posed by rolling online deadlines and digital competition. Or the business model perpetrated by Gawker Media, for example, where 'journalists' are 'paid per click'.
And yes, dear reader, I am a sub-editor.
