The Breitbart death might raise a question on that. But the main thing is the propaganda machine, with its attendant obfuscation of the facts, the news, the intimidation and manipulation of reporters, etc.
And that machine is not a natural development in the press. All you have to do is look at the press to know that they couldn't organize more than a drink, a golf game or a date with a sexual partner. The news is written for them and travel is arranged. There is a "Ministry of Truth".
