> In what sense?
Journalists have been complaining for at least 10-15 years about having to self-censor their coverage under threat of losing access to politicians and other "insiders". You should have seen many examples of this yourself.
The problem isn't any specific story. This kind of self-censorship creates a culture based on never challenging authority. Did you notice, for example, that CNN has slowly fired anybody that regularly "threatens their access" by acting like a real reporter? What about the people claiming[1] that the job of a journalist is to only act as a stenographer?
