The First Amendment does not assign responsibilities to journalism - indeed, journalism as we know it scarcely existed in the founding era because newspaper printers had nothing like the AP as a source of news to which the general public was not privy.
Thanks for linking your article, it is an outstanding piece. Have marked it to read and study the whole thread, have only read your piece so far.

Thanks for linking me to the article as always appreciated.
I now regard journalism on the same level as the comics and sports scores - it’s all a laugh and play (or tears and loss). Nothing seems real but rather agenda driven.
