I think you have interest in knowing what reporting is trustworthy and what is not. I'd like to showcase what good-faith journalism looks like.

It's an episode where This American Life got it wrong; they aired a story that wasn't truthful as delivered.

This episode details what happened when factual errors were brought to their attention. It's what good-faith journalists do and I think you'll recognize that.

Going forward:

     When a story generates a strong response in you,
     I urge you to consider whether the source of that story
     can be trusted to perform good faith journalism,
     (comparable to what's done in the TAL link above).
