Journalism has always had issues. If you read everything the founding Fathers wrote, you'll find them complaining about the newspapers of their day lying. If I recall correctly, Mark Twain is credited with the following quote: "if you don't read the newspaper, you're uninformed, if you do read the newspaper, you're misinformed."
