I absolutely agree - but that is something the journalists and papers
have to work out. Its not something for the government to step in.
With virtually every profession there are ethical concerns - this is
certainly one with journalism.

As a rule, they generally do NOT state that a person is guilty in NEWS
stories (though it is often to figure out what is news and what is
opinion by just the header of the page).

No, I'm replying to someone's statements about your press. If that's
not how your press is, take it up with them.
