News has always been this way really. In the past readers have lacked the ability to fact check quickly and easily or have the subjects publish corrections on their own with such ease as in this case.


How many readers of the actual article on Register, Engadget, BGR, DailyTech etc. are going to be reading this correction?


None, the same for traditional media for all of time. Media cares very little for actual truthful, accurate news, its more about viewers, readers, subscribers, listeners and $$. It's been like this forever though.
