There are lots of tweets saying the media needs to get its shit together because bad reporting gives "the other side" ammunition. That's wrong -- they'll find their "proof" in anything. The media needs to do better for everyone us. They're map makers smashing us against rocks.
(I'm not saying their job is easy. They're a targeted vector for propagating disinformation and misinformation. And, they're overwhelmed. But, things are getting sloppier and systemic incredulity is rising everywhere. That's a perfect outcome for team autocracy/kleptocracy.)
