No - at least, not anymore. According to Reagan, news organizations are for-profit enterprises that manufacture profit for the stakeholders, by any means necessary, and they can say whatever they want.
If you are from NZ you may have been confused with it being called "news".
Since this could read as snarky, I want to clarify: I am being 100% genuine. They used to be held to standards in order to be allowed to call themselves that. After that change though, while some organizations held on longer than others to some previous ideals, they were optional conventions at that point rather than mandatory.
A lot of people in the US didn't really understand what that change meant either.
Anyway, there is no "must" here: a law, or standard, or convention or whatever we want to call it, without a means of enforcement is merely a suggestion.
I get you:-).
Though the United Federation of Planets would not have come about without the Bell Riots having preceded them. This too shall pass, even if not quickly or painlessly.
Give yourself room to grieve: for now, things are not okay. And yet, for today at least (I mean from the sunrise to sunset 🌞), it'll be alright.
Tbf, intelligence helps:-).
But yeah, definitely not a guarantee - see e.g. Ivermectin.
It seems more like emotional agility is the more primary key - a willingness to look (inwards, outwards, at others, at the world, and accept what one sees).
Almost nobody likes him these days it seems - only what he can do for people, and in particular more than being "the other side".
Don't confuse optimism for desperation:-)
But Star Trek is a great example of what can come after e.g. Bell Riots.
We learn and grow through pain.
At least, whether for good or bad, we are not alone. Hrm I should make that into a post...
I have to believe that it can get better.
Will it have a chance to get better?
Well, I did say after:-).
All that we can hope to do is to give it our best shot.
