False news is not the problem in broadcasting, funding and fact checking are the problems.
If I were a journalist getting paid $18,000 a year, I would not feel a huge urge to go the extra mile it takes to check out all of my facts. That aside, I feel the facts are stretched more than made up. It is reflectance rather than malicious behavior that is to blame for false information. Sensationalism goes a long with fact stretching.
