I don't think there's been very much of an American Press at all for
close on thirty years. The press is neither free nor vigorous here,
at least not in the traditional sense. The press in the US is meek and
corporate. It's only tasks that could even vaguely be called vigorous
are its varied pursuits of so-called celebrities and 'entertainment
news.'
The era in which two young reporters could take down the Presidency of
the US are long LONG gone. In today's press, that story would never
have gotten published. And if it HAD gotten published, it would never
have gained traction.
