If media editors tolerate repeated unprofessional work from their staff and contributors, I'll call them on it. If they want to give up the protections that come with the label 'journalism' then they're most welcome to merrily make shit up til the cows come home.
Those protections were established in exchange for the civic role media plays in our society. Industry and regulatory changes mean 'inform' has long lagged behind to 'entertain'. Eroding professional and ethical standards accelerate that.
So long as I treat the 'news' as non-factual storytelling, I'm OK. But I'm not happy at all when others rely on it to figure out what's going on in the world where they too have a vote and a voice.

If someone wanted to sue the Herald for the blatant and repeated lack of truth in their reporting, I doubt claiming they're journalists will sway a jury. Is there any industry body who can take them aside and remind them of the basics of their profession?

a projected $60 billion transport spend for the region over the decades to 2040
my brain has gone on strike but maybe someone else can link to Transport Blog comparing that gold-plated wish list with the cheaper and better Congestion Free Network they developed with GenZero.
