    When did I say it’s okay? I just said this is nothing new, it’s not an anomaly. You should be outraged, but don’t act like a for-profit company isn’t going to chase profit incentives, and if they are incentivized to sensationalize, they’re going to sensationalize. If they end up making more money from an outright lie after any litigation, they’ll tell a lie.

    ​ Unlike a professor who would reject a student’s unsubstantiated claims, a for-profit entity won’t care about evidence unless its absence hurts profits. And you can say that about nearly any commercial news or journalistic organization. Establishing an equitable and high standard of education is the only true way to combat this, and that’s not happening in our lifetime
