"Guatemalan mother begging soldier to let her enter U.S."... the truth had nothing to do with that.

Reuters or CBS headling, "Guatemalan mother begging soldier to let her enter U.S.". 9 paragraphs in it mentions that the National Guard wasn't stopping them, his job was to stop drugs and people traffickers. He was just warning them about the dangers of crossing illegally and was trying to convince the woman not to cross illegally and put herself and her child in danger.

While the term goes back 100 years, the history is summed up well in a Sharyl Attkisson. While our media has always had false narratives and bad stories that are Fake News, we didn't use the term "Fake News". We called it liberal media bias or journalistic incompetence, but it's been around since the first liberal got sloppy somewhere back in Roman times.

Not quite as overtly biased as NBC/MSNBC, but they that's like saying he was a gentle rapist (of truth). Still, quite a few embarrassing cases, where if they had any journalists, or fact checkers, the stories would not have run as they did. And they immediately would have fired some of their reporters that reported such disinformation. They did, at least a few of them.

Reuters isn't usually quite as biased and partisan as the AP is, but that's a bar that a drunk could trip over. Still, here's some examples of their stories where they either failed Journalism 101, or they succeeded at Dishonesty 101. Even when the organization isn't bad, their feeders for content are.
