The outlets, hosts and accounts that knew better. This register documents what was broadcast, what the same people said privately at the same hour, and what it cost in settlements, retractions, and public health. Reporting that is merely hostile does not belong here; reporting that was knowingly false does.
An entry is only as good as the document under it. Every source this register relies on is listed here once, with what it shows and where the original sits, and cited from each entry that rests on it.
