Following the publication of incorrect information, you print or air a retraction as soon as possible, own your error, and reveal the true facts of the story.

"Journalism" now:

Following the publication of incorrect information, millions of people run wild spreading your mistake all over the Internet as if it's the truth, so you just delete your story and pretend like you had nothing to do with it.

Sad.
