Good work, but please know that it felt like you approached this piece as a defense of journalism, not an unbiased presentation of facts. Did you have anyone give a response that might have a differing opinion? When your professor stated that we might have a "Constitutional crisis", you could have had someone state why we might actually have a more media literate public thanks to this debate, but you didn't.
Your writing is good, and you have a pleasant tone, but when you get into this as a career, please don't forget that your starting point shouldn't have an impact and your main point, which should be rooted in truth, whether you like that truth or not.
