Journalists are desperately afraid that they will now be held accountable for the things they write and say.
This isn't the way it was supposed to be. Journalists are supposed to hold others accountable, not be held accountable themselves.
Bob Woodward's made his whole career based on that, and he's a major role model for American journalists.
The world's just topsy-turvy for leftists these days. Imagine the horror of finding out you have to re-learn your craft (i.e., start reporting objectively and telling the truth) from scratch or find another career. Imagine realizing that you aren't Fount O' Truth that the unwashed masses look to for hope and vision, rather those very same plebes are showing you up at your own craft!
O' the Horror!
