Wouldn't you also expect journalists to scrutinize things? As in skeptically question basically everything that's reported to them, and leave the drawing of conclusions up to their viewers? I think the scrutiny steps seems to get skipped, and each news outlet just reports the conclusions they want their viewers/readers to be exposed to.
