Interesting. I wonder if any mainstream 'news' media will actually use that and the facts therein rather than reporting the untrue versions provided by politicians on all sides trying to get elected by blaming anybody else.
You might be interested in a BBC Sounds podcast called The Corrections. There are four episodes, each deals with a story, the way it was reported, and the truth behind it.

It would be a wrong to suggest that journalism is not concerned with truth, but it's well to remember that truth isn't its primary purpose
