I disagree here as well. What you are saying sounds eerily similar to the Blue Line that "good" police refuse to cross when they see corruption and abuse of power in their ranks.

You speak as if journalists who systematically fall in line with "anonymous government sources" and then end up printing articles that manipulate public opinion into supporting war is just some trivial faux pas. Again, I disagree.

WaPo has already admitted the "fake news" source they relied on is completely unvetted garbage, and yet outlets across the country are still relying on it as if it had some factual basis. Hint hint.

In my opinion, the 4th estate needs some serious renovations. The post 9-11 media in the US has evolved into a bully pulpit for the very people they should be challenging the most.
