    Their production cycle seems to be more targeted at producing content, moreso than anything else, like integrity or correctness.

    I’ve noted several errors myself, most of the ones I’ve seen are relatively minor, and mostly pedantic, but they’re inaccuracies nonetheless.

    If LMG wants to move towards being more journalism and a reputable source of accurate information, which, from everything they’ve done recently (most notably the lab), they seem to want to be, then they need people to go and fact check everything, and scrutinize final products to ensure accurate information. Making sure that inaccuracies are caught and sent back to the beginning of the pipeline to be re-reviewed, and if necessary, re-shot.

    They can’t keep doing things by the seat of their pants and hoping for the best.

    My hats off to GN for bringing it to light, and hopefully some meaningful changes come from this.
