Universal Declaration of Human Rights, article 19: "Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers."

Notice how there's no clause stating that this right is conditional on "news integrity".

Any country put limits on its media, and free media is not always a force for good:

That makes me laugh. I guess the United States is ran solely on this document and no other detailed laws.
