immediately after you flop

Where did that happen??

Press should be free period, and the audience should hold them to a higher standard than they do

These are mutually exclusive demands. You cannot have a "free press" that is also "held to a higher standard". Either they're free to report what they want and be influenced by outside interests, or they're held to a standard of fact-based and unbiased reporting. The two are almost never going to coincide, especially in a system driven by capital. Whether you want to face that reality or not is your prerogative.
