      The culture of professional, savvy, Serious journalism is based on back-scratching and mutual flattery. Outsiders usually do the best work.

      Everyone knows that's a joke. Much of modern digital media is about preening for one's fellow media peers, as well as operatives and hacks.

          It's incestuous and morally corrupting. The intended audience becomes one's peers in elite media/political circles rather than the public.

          I. F. Stone didn't attend "briefings" or social confabs for exactly this purpose. One's obligation should be to the readers, not the pundits

          @zerohedge journos seem to think of themselves as gatekeepers rather than reporters, feel no compunction about selective reporting
