I've been saying this for years.
Atlantic editor: ‘Mistakes are precisely the reason that people should trust the media’
December 10, 2017 - 02:59 PM EST
David Frum, an editor for The Atlantic and former speechwriter for President George W. Bush, said the media’s recent reporting mistakes are exactly why readers should trust journalists.
“I have more advice for readers,” Frum told Brian Stelter on CNN’s “Reliable Sources.” “The mistakes are precisely the reason the people should trust the media.”
Frum described journalism as a process that is gradual, arguing readers must take in multiple stories to discern the truth.
“Journalism is a process. The way you discover the truth as a consumer of news is not by reading any one story and thinking ‘aha, here’s the truth,’ ” Frum said. “You have to be engaged in it. You have to be an active consumer.”
Frum’s comments come after two major news outlets, CNN and ABC, both recently made reporting errors that required corrections.
“In the process, there are going to be overshoots and undershoots,” Frum added.
President Trump has tried to seize on the mistakes to argue that information coming from these news outlets is "fake news."

lol ok. There haven't been too many mistakes praising Trump's leadership
Lol ok. Fox News and Breitbart have never embellished or exaggerated a story to praise Trump. Glad that's settled.
Praise? That’s some snowflake shit there in your troll. You want him to be praised in the newspaper lol?
Besides, even if ‘praise’ were the role of the media, there is nothing to praise. Get something right and you get praised
Everyone with an IQ over 80 knows those two places suck. Those people haven't yet realized the same about CNN.
Praise is for pussies. Go out there and be a leader and do the right shit and do it respectfully and with some dignity and don’t be a godddamned uninformed clown. Take the lumps and quit crying, and that goes for you message board crybabies and trolls
ISIS was defeated in less than a year. Stock market at all time high. Wages on the rise. Unemployment at lowest levels in years. Deals being made.
In 8 years Obama managed to double our insurance premiums and get OBL.
you suck shit at trolling but ok.
He has, thankfully, not pulled any levers yet, at all. He plays golf and watches TV, and he hasn't sold any legislation to America or congress, or made any deals at all. Deals lol. Thank fuck the economy has been stable, in spite of him. The Iraqi army and the pentagon deserve 'praise' for ISIS, not Trump. He couldn't point out Iraq on a map and doesn't know what ISIS is.
His greatest success to date is not fucking up the economy, something he knows little to nothing about.
He’s not self made. Take a mulligan
Ah yes, the self-made billionaire who became elected President is really a bumbling idiot #hottake. Always a classic.
The "self-made" (thanks dad), billionaire (allegedly), who has declared bankruptcy four times. Winner!
"who became elected President is really a bumbling idiot" This part is accurate.
His father was a billionaire?

Donald Trump has never declared bankruptcy. More #fakenews.
