I don’t think the media care about having lasting effects. They just want to catch the wave of interest and not wait around and let someone else get the scoop while they fact check or add nuance.
only the mainstream media knows about this? Quite odd to qualify media this way here, when most of all media uses this mechanism. We also forgot politicians who are experts in this field.
