Thank you. I actually wasn't aware.

That's the problem with media today.

I truly don't blame you for not knowing. There were huge headlines for the initial story, and then smaller headlines on the retraction. Then even after the retraction people that KNOW it was retracted still spread it because Issacson must be lying.

Its not just Elon, this happens everywhere.

Get the big headlines, and bury the corrections or clarifications.

Granted, in this case I don't think Issacson was malicious in his original reporting, but it really often is malicious

I found myself in a huge echo chamber over Brexit. World news on Reddit had me believing that it would never happen.

And yeah, I follow someone for Ukraine news on YouTube. He's pushed some theories that proved to be untrue so I guess that I have to do my own fact checking. Overall he seems to be good, but he seldomly talks about times that he was wrong.
