“What if they are quoting from sources like……the Yated, Hamodia, Mishpacha, Binah?”
That doesn’t make it okay. I don’t want to get into specifics (for obvious reasons), but it would be very hard to find any news publication that is not at times oiver on issurei Loshon hora. I’m sure that they have the best intentions and are trying hard to avoid it, but it is a difficult task.
I have asked sheilas about this more than once, and anyone who reads any Frum publication whether online or in print has a chiyuv to point out to the editors when they notice that Loshon Hora accidentally got in. If you don’t do so, you are probably oiver on hilchos loshon hora by reading the paper and not saying anything, thus implying that it’s not a problem and encouraging the spread of loshon hora.
