State Department, this is unacceptable.

"Media" is the plural. "Medium" is singular. Like data/datum.

The diplomatic corps should set a higher standard than, say, Meghan McCain. A free press is important, but so is agreement of subjects and predicates.

Are we sure that "press" doesn't mean "apply pressure to bring something to an end"?
