Accuracy in news is becoming a parallel to the educational process where depth is no longer a goal. Lots fewer editor jobs out there these days. Print newspapers are disappearing almost monthly. Electronic media replacements are often ‘iffy’ about including provenance in a rush to get market share.
Speaking of truth in labeling, shouldn’t those particular bureaucracies more properly be called the Department of Human Warehousing and Degradation? Because, in practice, they sure don’t spend much time at all doing any correcting.

I know what he means. After graduating with a degree in advanced mathematics, I applied for a job as a proofreader.
(Full disclosure: Just kidding about the math degree. But I did work for several years as a proofreader for a law firm.)
