It's not rocket science.

Rolling Stone had to retract a false story it published claiming an Oklahoma hospital had been overrun by people who poisoned themselves with the Covid-19 treatment ivermectin, and that that had resulted in gunshot victims and others being turned away or were left waiting for emergency care.
The story was published amid propagandists working overtime to try to controversialize the Covid-19 therapy ivermectin, which public health officials disparage and recommend against, but many physicians and scientists insist is proving highly effective in some cases.
Much of the misleading propaganda implied ivermectin is a horse medicine dangerous to people. It omitted the fact that there is an approved human ivermectin.
Above: an FDA photo associates ivermectin with horses even though it's approved for use in humans After the false story was published, the hospital issued a statement that prompted a correction.
It turns out the one doctor quoted in the story hadn't worked in the hospital in months, and the hospital had treated no patients related to ivermectin. Additionally, the hospital said, it has not turned away or delayed any patients in the ER.
Many in media and online (including MSNBC, a podcast entitled "No Lie," Daily Mail, Newsweek, NY Daily News, The Hill, Journalism professor Jason Johnson, Daily Kos and medical professionals) passed along the false report, as detailed in this thread by commentator Drew Holden.
Like two of the Covid-19 vaccines used in the U.S. (Johnson and Johnson and Moderna), ivermectin is not FDA approved to treat Covid-19. Ivermectin is approved to treat parasites. However, so called "off-label" prescription of drugs for other purposes is common --and legal.

For the media, fact checking simply consists of, “Does this conform to our agenda?”
Even after Rolling Stone got caught lying and had to issue a retraction (or update as they call it now), the rest of the Ministry of Propaganda was still running with the story.
It's not rocket science.
Lol. It is all fake news. Not one story would pass a close examination. The MSMedia is entirely made up of pathological liars. And the internet is no better.
He sent us HCQ, and the covid murderers killed that in its crib [elections don't rig themselves!].
Now he sends us Ivermectin, and he added "God dad jokes" into the mix.
The covid murderers and vaxx billionaires are having a hard time blockading this, because Mr. Ed gets it as a health snack in every feed store and Tractor Supply in the country, and the NGO do-gooders in central Africa give it away for free, like candy.
Coincidentally, central Africa is not having a problem with covid.
Thank you, Lord. 
Facts? Have we forgotten what Pedo joe(Way To Go Joe!) told us? If there is a choice between ‘facts’ and TRUTH, they’ll choose “TRUTH” by golly. Facts be damned.
Makes sense. Supposing it was illegal, then what happens when the doctor is not quite sure of the diagnosis?
That’s a good meme!
Highly paid liars,too.
For the media, fact checking simply consists of, “Does this conform to our agenda? If it doesn't, how can we destroy or discredit it?"
The story was a complete lie.
It was so bad that the hospital had to publicly repudiate the story.
This is why people are becoming mistrustful of health care professionals, particularly doctors.
Is the poster known as "gas_dr" reading this?
Like “hands up, don’t shoot “ the damage is done, the myth is created.
Not so sure this guy lied for money.
Some people lie for their jollies. Some for just attention even.
Rolling Stone = See Eye Aye
Oh look, each notch is 50#. Who could possibly screw that up?
Isn’t that how the media spreads propaganda? Run a false story. It receives a lot of attention. Print a hidden retraction that few see. And most people still believe the story.
The powers that be will not allow any treatment for covid. Vaccines make so much more $$$$$,
