And this is where I disagree.

Are you making the argument as follows:

   1. I have the right to free speech, and have therefore started a
   newspaper
   2. People don't want proper news, just what passes for a news
   3. I will therefore provide what the people want, while still being a
   newspaper, and enjoying all the constitutional and legal protection
   provided for newspapers to do proper news
   4. Its not my fault, but what the people want and I have the right to be
   in business as a newspaper/the press.

You see where the argument falls in its face? If not enough people want
proper news, increase the cost to what people who want it are ready to pay
for it and work within that or else go out of business. Don't continue to
call yourself a newspaper and feed the people koolaid.

Tags do mean a lot. It means you are qualified and expected to discharge
your duty honorably and is someone that can be trusted. If a guy in
plainclothes stops your car and asks to see your license and registration,
would you or would you not ask to see his badge?
