Was thinking of the 1st amendment and freedom of the press where does it state in that amendment that they can glorify the information to increase their audience?

People that disrespect good education are also those that fall for magical beliefs and invisible friends. As the constitution says: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press;" then maybe we're stuck with it. Glorifying information to increase the audience is certainly what both religion and politicians do.
Extreme is national enquire example aliens landed in the white house lawn gullible people will read this and take it to heart. Recent not so extreme The president ordered the eminent attack warning system in Hawaii a few days later new story 5 pages in the president did not sound the alarm was some worker pushed the button on accident. My point is the media wants to shock and awe so that people will give into their morbid sense of curiosity and then tune in again.
The FCC decides what broadcast news media says and does. Section 73.1217 of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. § 73.1217. This rule prohibits broadcast licensees or permittees from broadcasting false information. The FCC has stated publicly that "rigging or slanting the news is a most heinous act against the public interest."
So how do the get away with it so often?
