Journalists do definitely spread false information

I’ve continued to follow developments in the Telegram - Pavel Durov arrest story. As I’ve mentioned previously I’m interested to hear about cases of gang stalking that might get revealed. None so far. One thing that’s apparent is the very variable facts presented by the main stream media. It’s quite shocking.
The tech facts are known by the tech community, yet the main stream media continues to get basic facts wrong about the state of the encryption used by Telegram. Saying that it’s fully encrypted is false information. The actual reality is much more nuanced.
It’s crazy to think that such enormous errors could be made across all topics that these big reputable companies report on. You don’t ever think about that but when you see it happen in a domain you happen to know a lot about, it really makes you wonder about how often it must happen in all their reporting.
