I'm not splitting hairs.  What CNN and WaPo did was report something that was already viral because it was viral.  The thing that was viral was taken on different camera phones, and the timeline was unclear as the initial photos and videos were being shared.  CNN and WaPo did not hesitate to share the additional information and views of the incident as they became available.
What Brietbart did was try to create a story where none existed, and they knew that no story existed while they were doing it.  Fox News parroted Breitbart's lies but then walked them back when more information came to them.

I think Fox News and CNN are basically equivalent, in that both go for shock value, but both are also willing to have their stories criticized and are willing to correct themselves.

Breitbart has never been anything but lies and distortion with no correction.
