And that's exactly what the press will do.
Because journalism has catastrophically failed. They cannot be trusted. They are not more than PR weasels.
News lost its trustworthiness when it went both 24/7 and for profit (what company is it that owns a lot of local news now?). Many may not remember this (or were even alive at the time) but the news was once just a part of a tv station and news was paid for by the money earned from advertisements on other shows. News was also like an hour 3 or 4x a day, morning, noon, supper, and 11pm

I was young enough that I didn't pay much attention to the news back then, but I've heard that 9/11 was what started the 24/7 news cycle.
