I think we can safely bury that old fantasy about "journalistic ethics." I left the profession about 20 years ago largely because of the death of those ethics.
The ethics are like this... "What can I do that will get me on the A list."
"We didn't criticize you when you fired those reporters at CBS." ~ Putin
Sounds like old Russia whispering KGB rhetoric in Putins ear. Putin can control the Russian political media much like the CRTC controls Canadian political media and somewhat like Saddam controlled media and like Cuba, China, N Korea etc... However Bush can't. See no one station can have a media monopoly; we have checks and balances unlike some of our "friends".. ;)
But if you want.
