Curiously, a lot of people seem to think that news has to be factually 
accurate - by law or something. And that we have these "journalistic 
freedom" laws to protect the public by allowing news media to bring 
important matters to public attention.

But... er... last time I checked, the media can print absolutely 
anything that will sell copies. In other words, MAKE MONEY. So... um... 
am I being dense or something?
