Yeah it really flips things upside down when a journalist has so much access to info that they can essentially pick their own story from the data.

Maybe they can't credibly fudge the numbers, but they can find enough data to agenda-set pretty much anything.

Yeah it’s really just depressing. It’s like every news outlet wants to be just a ‘little bit’ “national enquirer” but still have everyone take them seriously. Our news industry is abjectly sensationalist.
