And still, when I think 'low-quality and probably life-destroying yellow press', I do not think United States, I think United Kingdom. Fox News feels almost liberal compared to the likes of the Daily Mail or (shudder) the Express.

I dislike all of these organizations, but they're all peas in the same awful pod. Debating whether one is more liberal than another is like trying to figure out which of Himmler, Goering or Hitler was the least fascist. You might be able to get an answer but it doesn't mean anything given how terrible they all were.

accountable for what specifically? or do you just want more rigorous reporting in general?

TV is a dying medium, is it not? I'd say this problem of sensationalist TV news solves itself within a decade.

> accountable for what specifically?

For mis-selling entertainment, opinion and a poorly written soap opera as the "facts" or even "news".

TV is being replaced by even more sensationalist and less accountable youtubers.
