"Most people, let alone journalists, would be far too embarrassed to admit they harbor such subservient, obsequious sentiments. It's one thing to accord some deference or presumption of good will to political officials, but the desire to demonstrate some minimal human dignity, by itself, would preclude most people from publicly confessing that they have willingly sacrificed all of their independent judgment and autonomy to the superior, secret decrees of those who wield the greatest power."

Established journalism=Corporate Stenography, pure and simple.

It makes sense that since large global corporations with vast amounts of money (the lifeblood of corporation) pretty much own most national governments, it stands to reason that institutes that once called themselves part of the journalism profession would eventually be required to compromise their objectivity, honesty, and integrity to its readers and be beholden to their owners to maximize profit and sales over actual, you know, their job.
