This is why we need sites like archive.org to survive, not just for media retention but for media integrity. The media's job is to report, not to stroke egos or echo a false narrative.

People cannot simply have an article pulled because "you didn't like it". Hell, even pulling an article for "slander" is a dangerous slope, as what is slander one day mutates into "I didn't like it" next week.

Without Media Integrity, we have no way to know the truth. If we lack the ability to discern what is a truth and what is a lie, we lack a fundamental understanding of the world around us and become easy to manipulate, and vulnerable to the whims of journalism with an agenda.

The job of the media (and journalism, by extension) is to report on the objective and unbiased truth of something. Sites like archive.org keep records of such articles, and thus, even if the article is pulled it remains.
