The US media are not journalists. They are media/entertainment figures. They do not do “journalism” any longer.
Just look at all the major political stories of today - Clinton’s e-mails, Benghazi timeline, Soros influence, Clinton foundation, Government surveillance, etc.., etc..
US Mainstream media has not broken one, or any small part of, these stories. In fact, they do the opposite on them, spin and obfuscate. It has all been done by anonymous hackers, wikileaks, Snowden, groups like judicial watch or just plain independent internet research.
The US Journalism is dead. Most Americans just don’t realize it yet.
Our press has become like the propaganda organs of the old USSR. And Americans need to be attuned to that, just as the citizens of the USSR were. They knew Pravda really did publish the truth, but it was coded and inferred “between the lines.” An astute Soviet never took Pravda at face value, but instead sifted and gleaned the information to divine what was really going on.
It’s a skill that the American body politic needs to develop.
