I'm so old I started my journalism career before internet, mobile phones and digital cameras. This makes me an old git, one who regularly will rant about things being better in the good old days. I am sure I am mistaken a lot, but here are two examples of this being true! I think the slower pace of yesteryears would've made sure these two would've been spotted and fixed before being published.

(The ad is for a dating service)The story is actually about a mother who is concerned for the well being of her daughter, stuck in a Bolivian jail on drug trafficking charges.

Lovely!
