Now that has changed - the LSM knows their responsibility is to present propaganda to enforce a Fascist DPST political stance - and 'FACTS" be damned if they do not fit the narrative.
Reporters of LSM have abandoned the concept of "Truthfulness"!

I lived through the whole Watergate scandal. I watched the Ervine committee hearings and got my fill of it. When it all boiled down to the truth and President Nixon decided to resign rather than face the impeachment process, the whole story of how Woodward and Bernstein did their reporting.
And one of the main points of that side-bar to Watergate,was the issue of verifying what their sources told them. They were told by their editorial leadership that they had to have
two sources for every story they reported. . .
.and getting that verification was a major part of their book, "Al the President's Men".
Today none of that seems to be the case for anyone in the mainstream news business.
