I’m old enough to remember when the population actually respected journalists.

Three score and some bonus years....never even heard "journalist" until late 70's. We had news reporters most of which were held in the same regard as street walkers. Not to say there weren't some outstanding ones. But check out some old movies to see how the press was portrayed...or General Sheriden's comments.

Didn’t the modern Washington Post have a writer who had sex with two different sources within the US government for intel?
