The press was also supposed to report facts truthfully, not engage in political wrangling of their own. The majority of the so-called "media" in the US are not, and should not be protected as journalists because they give their version of the truth in whatever way it helps them, their station, or their political party.
I'm becoming more and more of a fan of countries that ban their press corps from putting spins on news.
