We just do. I think it should be a rule or a Law, that is you spread misinformation regarding serious situations like COVID. If it was intentional, you should be pulled off air. If it was intentional, but that journalist’s what to “play”, be pulled off the air. When they make mistake, not only should they correct it in a BIG way, but they should go back to journalism school and re-learn how to verify things.
The ones that are any good, you rarely hear from, because like Murdoch. A lot of loud journalists like to make themselves the story. I think we, as a society, all over the world need to promote these good journalists ourselves. Murdoch and co aren’t going to do it.
I say it’s time the people start listening and start promoting the journalists that they want to hear from, rather than let industries like Murdoch do it for us. Let’s do this thing!
I would LOVE to hear of any good journalists, in each of your countries.

Murdoch who? lol – I do not read or listen to any Murdoch outlets or media that follow his approach.

Good journalism? I’m struggling to think of any examples! Murdoch is one of the absolute worst, especially via Fox News and that particular outlet’s Trump worship.

The problem is that so many believe that the news personalities are journalists. Very few are.
