It’s hard to tell, but at larger papers such as The Wall Street Journal and The Washington Post it’s probably an inside job – i.e., they self-censor because of who owns them.

Monday’s agreement stems from the August 2023 search of the Marion County Record, as well as the home of the paper’s publisher and a councilwoman, seizing reporters’ cell phones and computers, among other items. The raid triggered widespread condemnation from news organizations and press freedom advocates.

you can’t play the same shitty games like they have been since 2016.

Oh, it’s been going on for much longer than that.

This clip is from the early 2000s; the late William Greider was a Pulitzer Prize nominee in 1982.

and you totally lied when you said you would “prosecute the case against him”

And speaking of which:

But a new book by Pulitzer Prize-nominated reporter Aaron Glantz challenges that storyline, arguing that Harris not only allowed Steve Mnuchin’s OneWest bank to get away with foreclosing on tens of thousands of state homeowners, but then tried to bury the evidence.
