> Would you make this same argument when journalists cover fi[n]ance or war?
Yes. A journalist's job is to report news, not make it. Activist journalism has virtually destroyed the reputation of the press.
What good is any coverage if your audience thinks you're dishonest?
> Just because everyone is on-board, should journalists stop asking questions?
They should not be distorting their coverage of the answers.
> If all journalism is is a mouthpiece, why do we need it in the age of internet?
Activist journalism is just a mouthpiece for interest groups.
