What is wrong with the press?
They've gotten lazy. Or, maybe being charitable, they no longer have the resources to do quality journalism.
Most reporters simply push "facts" into "template" and then rush the story to print. This is the course of least resistance... they know their editor will like the formula story, and the editor doesn't like any more effort on a story than is necessary. The editor figures that the formula story has "always sold" so therefore it will sell again.
There are exceptions of course, but I've just covered 95% of the news stories that I see and hear.
Fortunately, the MSM has run into people who don't need to stick to a formula, don't have an editor trying to crank out content with the least amount of effort, and are well-trained in spotting biased formulas.
"...they no longer have the resources to do quality journalism"
Oh, they definitely have the resources. What they don't have is integrity. That is a quality to be squashed wherever it is found. Integrity gums up the cogs of the PC swindle machine.
