It's an interesting world we live in where Reddit and Hacker News users are the ones doing investigation into the truth of claims journalists publish.<p>With real-time feedback and real-time coverage, it's almost inevitable that our news sources will become increasingly less investigative and more reactive. The first to report wins the traffic, which creates pressure to get stories out the door. Unless you take The Atlantic or New Yorker approach, it's a race, which leaves users users to do the fact checking. We can be cynical about the state of online journalism, and maybe it's partly warranted, but this is definitely where we're headed.
