These are both insanely dumb - both because the comparison fails miserably on anything beyond a facile level (due to the fact that journalistic entities have a duty to not report false or misleading information, which is markedly different than, say, ethical obligations to 10 year olds or coworkers or whatever), and because even if the comparison did work (IT DOESN'T), the actions of a wholly dissimilar party don't excuse any wrongdoing at all.

Dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb. Dumb. And possibly willfully ignorant, to make a borderline-abhorrent point.
