This is useful for pointing out if a news site is manipulating a narrative, but for other things, I think news site should get the privacy they need to make stealth edits.
Like:
This was just poor wording. No reason sites shouldn't have the peace of mind to change poor wording without being called out.
I don't care how many times you edit your comment, but I also don't trust you at all. Now, I don't have to trust you because clearly I am not going to learn anything of value from you.
If you don't care whether I trust you or not, this shouldn't bother you.
Most Newspapers trade on their credibility. They should want to be trusted that they aren't making material changes to their articles. Are you suggesting we leave it to them to decide for themselves what constitutes a material change?
BWAAAAAAHAHAHA!
It's sad but it's true. People out there really believe newspapers as if they were sacred texts.
So, how much nuance do you think exists between the idea of "credible" and the idea of "sacred texts"?
