FWIW, my understanding is that the press provoke these sorts of immediate reactions to gin up a furor... e.g. with the Covington Native American hoax, reporters elicited a quick condemnation from the diocese by implying that otherwise they would be accused of condoning racist bullying.

"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to

the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
