Part 8/11:
The New York Times has a history of correcting misleading stories; yet, the recurrence of such issues calls into question systemic practices and the susceptibility of mainstream outlets to sensationalism. This phenomenon echoes the dangers of false narratives like the Protocols of Zion, which continue to influence perceptions even after being debunked.
Adding to the issue is the response of political leaders, who may rely on or endorse questionable information to serve strategic or ideological goals. Without accountability, such practices threaten the foundations of an informed democracy and can contribute to cycles of hatred and violence.
