I call it laziness, not journalism. Thus a lie issued by one source is picked up and echoed by the famous words, "As reported by <liar of choice> . . ." as if repeating an unsubstantiated claim frees them from the immorality of repeating a lie. We see this in politics all the time and now it is being used for anything else someone doesn't like. The fault lies with the liar who repeats it without doing basic fact checking. Disgusting.
