The free press does what sells. The people seem to be more interested in who Jennifer Aniston is fucking than what is going on in the government because people have lost the feeling they can change anything or that their voice matters.
And the press feeds those feelings.
Plus, you have the left saying not to believe the press, you have the right telling you how evil the press is.... and the press no longer being in the business to report news but to make profits.
Plus, how do we know the NYT didn't have to wait and make sure the story was accurate before they ran it. If they had ran it and it turned out to be a "fake" story it would kill thier reputation.

I just love people who use the excuse "I use/do this because I LOVE the feeling/joy/happiness it brings me" and expect you to be ok with that as you watch them destroy their life blindly following. My response is, "I like to put forks in an eletrical socket, just LOVE that feeling, can't ever get enough of it, so will you let me put this copper fork in that electric socket?"
