That's what has happened here too. Media pushes what brings in viewers, readers and/or advertisers. What incentive do thay have to educate? That doesn't pay the bills. And you can't really legislate ethics. Laws are there to mark some coarse boundaries, but if you put too strict guidelines on the press, then you're controlling them. So the media are folks that are really unmonitored, and their ethics are pretty much determined by what they can get away with.
