I hope I'm wrong, but I can't help but think that the most successful and visible "journalists"/news readers are sociopaths/narcisists who care only about themselves and their careers. That's why they succeed and are visible! They are ready and willing to say and do anything that will advance themselves, which generally means saying and doing anything that advances their masters. A decent person would speak up and get shot down enough to become discouraged and either fall silent or even move on to another career. A sad situation, but what can we do? Is there a news organization we "little people" can get behind, support, and reward for its honesty?
