5. Reporters are trying to build a bankable reputation, and their big bosses are mostly Republicans. nt

7. exactly. *journalism* requires abandoning sources who lie, especially routinely.

but edward r. murrow is long gone, and the media now cares vastly more about attracting eyeballs and ad revenue with sensationalism than it does about republican actually important facts.

a "good reputation" for a reporter these days is exactly that, the ability to attract eyeballs and therefore ad revenue with sensationalism.

a *bad* reputation for a reporter these days is to try to be an actual journalist. that's a recipe for becoming a self-employed blogger with a fair number of followers, but not a major tv anchor with a multi-million dollar contract.
