Sure you can...
- The US news media doesn't know the meaning of professional integrity.
- Talking about the professional integrity of the US news media is like
talking about honor among thieves.
- If "professional integrity of the US news media" had less words, you
could compare it to "military intelligence."
- The US news media has professional integrity like sharks have table
manners.
- I'm sorry, the proximity of the phrases "US news media" and "professional
integrity" just triggered a state of cognitive dissonance.[1]
...And so on. Any other takers, folks? :)
