A bit on journalism

[Alxcipher]

A judicial body to preserve the "integrity" of the media? Just whose construction of integrity are we talking about here? At least in the US you have a right of free speech, in Australia we only have an implied right of 'freedom of political communication' which I think upholds 'integrity' a lot more than any judiciary. Especially where the judicature is as loaded as the US with party politics and allegiances. Your media is already judged by the judiciary to an extent, look at defamation laws etc. Ideals espoused through journalism should be any ideas that the author wants to convey so long as they are a part of the story and make it subjective as all hell. Objectivity is such a stupid word. Viva Gonzo.
