This total lack of true “investigative journalism” is happening not just on a the international but also on the local scale.

My Pennsylvania County has been under a “drought emergency” for over a month; and the customers of the largest public water utility have likewise been under mandatory water use restrictions.

Imagine my surprise to find a fire hydrant cracked full open pouring hundreds of gallons per minute along a road...totally being wasted.

I could not wade through the automated answering system to reach a live human being at my local Gannett/USA Today aka “useless hay for pay” affiliate...after all, bad optics at the very least deserves a good picture.

Then, after some further investigation by me—not a “reporter”—I uncovered that the utility was under state mandate to flush every fortnight because of a complaint about bacterial levels.

So much for transparency!

So much for “journalism”!

A First Amendment, if you can keep it.

Nobody here will be surprised at any of these entries on the List Of Usual Suspects, but to condense:

Reuters
Associated Press
New York Times
Washington Post
MSNBC
CNN
Politico
BBC News
PBS
Forbes
The Daily Beast
The Hill

This is, quite literally, the Ministry Of Truth. To doubt them is "disinformation" and if they have their way, a jailable offense.
