This rule apparently doesn't apply much to works of fiction. Maybe the news media doesn't seem to care as much about it in question as about whatever effect it had. But that's no reason to make an error that could have been avoided by looking into the material a bit, especially if said error involves serious accusations like blaming a child's death on imitating something they saw on TV. This often results in examples either factually incorrect, from minor to grossly wrong like the TropeNamer, or taking some "facts" from TheThemeParkVersion of a larger entity, which to some is much worse than just not doing the research.

This is when the media reports blatantly incorrect facts about a creative work that any fan or even just someone with any kind of passing knowledge of said work would know to be wrong. It seems like some people just can't be bothered to do any fact-checking. Let's face it — sometimes, it's easy to do. But what about the news? Newspapers, a NewsBroadcast, national news, etc.? It is in their job description to do at least ''some'' research, to make sure they aren't stating factual untruths.

Her [[IAmNotShazam name]] is [[GenderBlenderName Ed]].[[note]]The main character of the series is a man with dark green hair named Spike; you'd never confuse Ed for him. "Cowboy" is in-universe slang for "bounty hunter" and is not a character's name, and Ed probably wouldn't qualify for the title. "Bebop" is the name of their ship. The series never uses the capitalization "[[CamelCase BeBop]]". The computer does not belong to Ed, and it's more than just that [[ComputerEqualsMonitor keyboard and monitor]] in the pic. As such, the only correct words in the caption are "Kid", "at", and "Bandai".[[/note]]]]
