Where has the journalistic integrity gone...
Indeed it has been gone for years. Not sure if your single-article reference backs your claim though. Let me refute your argument:"describing the shooter as a 300-pound bald, black man wearing red clothing"http://blogs.seattletimes.com/today/2014/05/man-charged-with-1st-degree-murder-in-federal-way-shooting/"Before police arrived, three shots were fired by a black male wearing black pants and a white shirt with writing on it."http://m.myhorrynews.com/news/crime/article_495c594a-e3f7-11e3-8aa1-0017a43b2370.htmlHeadline: "Not Just a 'White Guy Killer'""Does it matter that he was half-Asian? It means everything and it means nothing."http://www.newrepublic.com/article/117922/elliot-rodger-race-isla-vista-shooter-was-not-just-white-guy-killer"The gunman, who is described as a Hispanic man in his 20s wearing a red shirt and blue jeans"http://m.wesh.com/news/teen-woman-shot-during-orange-county-home-invasion/26339690All recent.

the internet...not so reliable. its another source that has to be looked at under a microscope to see if its accurate or just more propaganda
This, information isn't that hard to manipulate in the blogosphere. They don't even have to get it right the first time, they can just post some retraction or correction later
