More responsible use of the internet needed

Note the parallel btw the Singtel scandal (see earlier post) and the rumour about LKY's death (before his real death occurs)....
For the Chinese article below, the main useful part is how reputable media like the US's CNN, China's CCTV and Phoenix channel actually reported the rumour they found online without verifying it first with reliable sources....

Note:
-the useful examples of falsehood and untruth spread online due to cloak of anonymity
-one common point often mentioned is that we should stick to reliable & reputable sources when getting info, but here we have even the reputable sources failing in their mission, proving that even the truth is not a guarantee when we go to them....

Qn: Can we ever rely on the media to tell the truth?
