To bad they don't have a professional standards board

Really only need one standard:

Report the Truth.

(Not Report the Truth as you see it or Report the Truth as you think it ought to be...Just report the Truth.

The problem is that the news media see themselves as "to eloquent" to report only the Truth; therefore, they must screen the Truth, filter the truth, find two or more sides to the truth, skew the truth, and even make up the truth.

In the end, truth has nothing to do with what is reported.
