When I was younger and more naive, I thought the media was honest.  I thought that they had integrity and that the threat of possible media exposure kept people honest.   I guess it doesn't work that way.  Not sure it ever did.

I do believe that they understood integrity back in the day and were mostly able to separate their personal feelings from their work. Mostly.
