I agree. However, the problem lies far beyond the journalists' power. Let's take the latest investigation on the Biden family as an example. The IRS led the investigation for several years, and the IRS special agent provided a substantial amount of information pointing to bribes during their testimony. However, one of the political parties, including the FBI, showed no interest in finding the truth. This was evident from the type of questions that were asked. Why do they do that? Because they are protecting their own interests.
When it comes to journalism, we can observe the exact same pattern. Journalists are not allowed to be skeptical because their skepticism could impact their company's ad revenue. When I worked at Huffington Post, I was not "allowed" to say anything negative about the then-President (Barack Obama). Even after the FBI was pressured to release all the Biden documents (FD-1023 - the one they were initially denying the existence of), the "reputable" news outlets remain predominantly silent. Ad revenue is a significant factor in this silence. They are protecting their own interests.
