"Journalists" are over-rated. Watergate elevated them to a position they do not deserve. Most are hacks who give English deapartments a bad name.
"The fact is, journalism's most critical responsibilities in a democratic society - seeking, reporting, and analyzing news and holding people accountable - aren't easy to fulfill."
The "fact" is that reporters aren't fulfilling that role. They are partisan snipes who seel to inluence events, not report on them. Thats why so many American's are turning away from the MSM monopoly - to talk radio and the net - to get information without leftist socialist spin.
