There isn't much that can be done about "freedom" of the press, as it's protected in the constitution.

But one would think lawsuits for slander would keep it more "honest". I don't know what can be done about bias however, or other inaccuracies.
Thank goodness for the internet and Blogs.

You are wrong. There is something that can be done about freedom of the press. It is called removing press credentials. The press has an ethical responsibility to report fairly and accurately. That is what freedom of the press is. You can go ahead and criticize. However it must be accurate and non bias. In this sense the media has failed miserably and should be held accountable.
