There's no minimum requirement for them to be allowed to practice the First Ammendment. Anyone with a computer now a days can claim to be a journalist. Journalist who write for the big papers and networks just work for their master or get fired, so the whole journalist thing can actually work at a conspiracy level.

At work we have fun picking apart the errors in science, technology, engineering, environmental.... articles because the journalist just don't comprehend it.

.....and then they send it off to the readers.
