Who's going to read the article in two days time when it's been corrected based on "new information" to say that all the claims are complete fabrications?



Everyone who looks at their front page, apparently.


Only if you are in the habit of rereading articles. Nothing on the front page suggests the article has been updated.

Damage done, Ars moves on to the next clickbait.


Wouldn’t the updated title suggest that?


Nothing on the front page suggests that anything has been updated. Title is still “Ex-SolarCity employees: We were fired after reporting millions in fake sales.”


That headline is still a literal statement of fact even if that triggers the emotional reaction which inspired you to donate your PR skills pro bono. The article clearly explained that these were claims made in a lawsuit brought by former employees and anyone who passed a civics class knows that someone can claim anything but you should wait to see what’s upheld in court.


How do I know that the story has been updated since I read it? Am I supposed to read every story every day to make sure that I see future updates?


Did Tesla get back to them, and did the story change?


How do I know that a story I read yesterday has changed? Am I supposed to go back and read stories like this every day for some indefinite period?
