I've never had an article written about me or my products that didn't have some mistakes, I'm not sure why it's not standard practice to send a draft to the subject for fact checking...

I've had a few reporters send me quotes and excerpts for fact checking. They then proceeded to ignore my corrections, since their fabrications better matched the target narrative.

Once you're on the other side of the news, even a little bit, you begin to understand just how broken it really is.

I had the same experience on fact checking

As have I

Sometimes quotes are sent yes, but not the rest of the article. Usually the quotes are not off but the facts of the actual story.
