If there was nothing to report, it wouldn't be in the news at all, would it?

The Trouble is how true that is.

Not necessarily - you've been in newsrooms, you know how things can snowball, and all it takes is an overzealous reporter or editor to take a story too far, or beyond it's factual (and/or reasonable) boundaries.
We'd like to think the media always does the responsible thing, but that's just not true. Just as it's not always the media's fault when something happens, some outlets are not without imperfections and problems.

I've spent over thirty years in newsrooms.

Which is exactly what I was meant when I said "you've spent time in newsrooms." You know more than anyone on this board that the "don't screw up and the media will ignore you" doesn't always work. I saw instances of it in the few years I spent in newsrooms, and I'm sure you've many more of those situations.
I hope you didn't take that statement as a questioning of your experience, because it was clearly not meant to do that.

Well, as I've said somewhere here (maybe many somewheres), there are some bad journalists -- just like there are some bad cops and bad ministers and bad everything else.
For the most part, though, the vast majority of the reporters, etc. I've met are committed professionals who are devoted to doing a good job.
Still, I'd repeat -- if you don't want to stay out of the media for doing bad stuff, don't do bad stuff.
