Divestigative Journalism
After having done absolutely no research beyond reading the papers that I read and then forgetting what they said, it seems to me that the US media in general is neglecting to do investigative reporting of what has to be the biggest story about the current administration: Did Bush lie to us in order to get a war that he wanted?
I get the sense that if the Congress drops the issue, so will the journalists. The media are covering not the issue but the Democratic pursuit of the issue. Investigative journalism, in contrast, would be out trying to track down information on its own.
Is my fact-deprived perception correct? If so, why aren’t there journalists out there digging into this story the way a dog digs into a bowl of fresh Pulitzer Prizes?
