boofuckingwoo. Reporters are not supposed to be friends with the people they are writing about.

True, but if those same people they're not supposed to be friends with are the ones inviting them to those events/granting them early access...

In other words: the system is rigged.

The system is rigged.

You cannot give the same criticism to a rich person vs. a poor person even if their incompetence is the same. I am not sure what’s the fix, other than the common refrain of “there should be no millionaires/billionaires”. How does society heal itself if you cannot hold people accountable?

Again - boofuckinghooo. Let the fuckers have no friends in the media. The media owners make journalists spinless advertisement sellers. I have very little respect for the profession at this point.

What a delightful and helpful attitude.

booduckinghoo.

We’re sick and tired of this shit, it will never change if people make excuses for it.

You're missing the point that they need those relationships to gain access to sources. You literally cannot force people to talk to you
