>there should be some ethical and truth finding considerations attached.

But who decides what's true? And why should we let them? Majority consensus is an easy answer, but we'd need something else if we were to regulate truth at a level we could enforce on journalists.

I'm personally more worried about that question spiraling out of control than I am about offering equal air time.

Truth might not be the best word, but the intention is about factual and empirical observations. So news/journalism is X happened at Y, backed up with as much sources as the journalist can muster.

What it means is not news, thats opinion.
