That's the whole point -- we don't trust journalists/editors anymore.. They were exposed as being a completely untrustworthy group of people.. We just don't believe them anymore.. We trust them about as much as we trust politicians these days ;-)

Which is why there should be an unmoderated channel, or, rather, a channel moderated by some unbiased rule, just to protect from saturation, -- such as the rule of being mentioned in the story in question..
