    Where are all the real journalists at?

    They along with the actual research departments were dumped about 15 years ago during the “great buyout” of all major media outlets. Corporations/billionaires like Bezos bought up institutions like the Washington Post and pretty much immediately went into business school jackass mode of squeeze squeeze squeeze for more profit so the first things to go were investigative journalism and research departments in favor of literally copying whatever story the NYT ran (not kidding.)

    Their motto is “no blood from a stone? You aren’t squeezing hard enough!”
