...the actual perspective of journalism - cynicism toward the people and institutions which actually do necessary things..."
Journalists, who never produce any tangible products or services, revel in their self-appointed role of critiquing the performance of those who do. They are professionals at second guessing. Rarely do they provide any useful perspective on the circumstances, constraints, etc. faced by those who produce because they don't have any real world experience doing anything even though they portray themselves as instant experts on everything.
In essence, journalists confuse their role with that of the critic.
Stop and think about how national news reporters write (and think) as if they were "political critics" -- performing a function in parallel with the theater critic or the art critic, not reporting at all. Similarly, the style section is absorbed with criticism of the culture.
Even the one-time Toy Department of the media, the sports department, has succumbed. Sportswriters are now intent on reporting about personalities -- as if their function was akin to "Entertainment Tonight" -- and acting as "baseball critics", "football critics", etc.
But the ugly truth is that most journalists don't know squat about what they cover on their beat.
