Just take a look at the NBC scandal with Matt Lauer, or the fake Syrian war footage ABC was spreading around that turned out to be a shooting range in Kentucky. Not to mention the Project Veritas releases concerning CNN and others.
Trust is low with all news organizations and I think The Verge is just continuing to push their own bias onto users with this article.
*edit - I see downvotes but no comments. I'd love to have my mind changed if someone has good reasons other than they don't like right wing media.
