State of journalism

I have been constantly annoyed by totally silly mistakes in the Finnish media that any AI would have immediately caught. These errors clearly indicate one or more of the following issues within an article:

• Sloppy copy-pasting
• A complete lack of understanding regarding the topic
• The pointless use of English terms when Finnish equivalents exist
• Textual mistakes which clearly indicate no one bothered to proofread the text even once before publishing, such as:
  • Repeated words
  • Broken sentences
  • Etc.

A question to those who know #Finnish on here please.

If I want to say "I want to eat some ice cream" in Finnish, it would be "Mä haluan syödä jäätelöä".

But if I wanted to say "I want to buy a car", would it be "Mä haluan ostaa auton", because I am talking about one whole car, rather than using the partitive "autoa"?

Would anyone in the #linguistics sphere or elsewhere have tips on learning Finnish?

I'd be starting from basically nothing and would be working on my own for now. I can work with materials in English, German or Swedish.
