I have a friend who is retired journalist who held a senior position with a national newspaper
20 years ago he predicted the effect of rolling 24 hour news in that firstly news wouldnt stop be reported as 'fact' but sensationalised. Secondly news outlets, because of the time they have to fill. would stop reporting those 'facts' and start driving the story by speculating on how a story could developed so much so that speculation would become 'the fact'
