Journalism is no longer about investigation and bringing truth to power, but about access. Most journalists across the spectrum just repeat state department talking points verbatim. There's some outliers like Chris Hedges and Vincent Bevins, but they're extremely rare, and generally not employed by the big name outlets like AP news and such. In journalism, if you exhibit even a semblance of a backbone, you lose access, and hence your job. So, it'll be "regime" this, "Hamas-run hospital" that, "BuT at WhAt CoSt" and so on.
