"Again, my friends and colleagues in the media have two choices in covering this. You can just copy down what the Republicans and Vice President Cheney are saying, and click 'send,' call it journalism, or you can actually fact-check those comments and put them into context. Your choice. It's your country.' -- Rachel Maddow, 2009-12-31

I think you should be stripped of the title 'journalist' if you don't do that fact checking.

So, no, it's not really your choice: if you make that choice, you should be drubbed out of your position.
