We have taken freedom of the press for granted and the money-men have taken over the media. It seems the most important decision is if a story runs, will it embarrass the corporate sponsors.

Looking back over the last 30-35 years you wonder if the Pentagon Papers or Watergate would have made the papers, let alone dominating coverage when they both broke big. Completely true.
