Summary

Politics. "Drive-by journalism" has fostered the widespread trashing of government, the destruction of politicians via gotcha journalism, the shaping of politics to media needs, and the swapping of empty political coverage for political ads. It also means exploiting the First Amendment for commercial gain, letting advertisers and professional publicists shape the news, and tilting the media even further in the service of the privileged few.
