We don’t have ‘investigative journalism’ in the US, we have ‘opposition research’.

There is no real “investigative reporting” in the MSM. It’s all rip and read press releases or Democrat leaks.

"There is no more important contribution that we can make to society than strong, publicly-spirited investigative journalism."

Pure BS

We have no media. We have a Department of Information and Public Guidance.

After Woodward and Bernstein demonstrated that a couple of low-level police reporters could collapse an entire administration, political activists began flocking to “journalism schools” and filling newsrooms. Today those activists/propagandists are editors and publishers. Most reporters today are too lazy or inept to investigate anything beyond what's on the internet. Prizes for “investigative journalism” go to staffers who were simply spoon-fed classified leaks by partisan bureaucrats.

Government at all levels is a big ripe target rich environment. It is almost completely ignored by “investigative journalists” who are more interested in making you believe that the only purpose of business is to rip you off.
