I hear where you are comming from on this one, but I don't think you have
thought it through.  Yes I agree TV news SUCKS!!! But how are you going to
determine "the correct understanding".  Sounds like something some Maxist
Idiot would come up with to justify goverment control of the media.

Sometimes mistakes slip through the scientific journals.  There was a nobel
prize awarded in medicine around 1920's for a theory of cancer that turned
out to be totally wrong.  Science ain't an exact science when you are on
the bleeding edge, but over time it will correct its mistakes.

Freedom.
