This is what we witnessed with Leaving Neverland, I think. This "pack journalism":
In other words, the news media in general and print journalism in particular, have been so enfeebled by fragmentation that they have almost no real power to break through the tremendous media clutter individually, but only when they act, repeatedly, as a group. This helps facilitate “pack journalism,” which is particularly dangerous when no one is remotely incentivized to debunk a false narrative that is good for business, or try to create a truthful one that goes against the momentum of the rest of the herd.
Inevitably, media mistakes have become plentiful and, with their partisanship increasing, the news media’s credibility has faded almost as much as their power to influence events. At the same time, on the internet, it now takes only a small amount of money and a decent web designer to put out content that appears on the surface to be as convincing as what the mainstream media is producing.
Another example of this was the infamous and false child porn story.
