Subject: RE: BS: LA TIMES (coverage of lobbyist payments)
This is because almost all reporters are liberal arts majors and their goal is "to change the world", not report news.

This may have been true at some point in the past, but it certainly is not true at this point in our history. The goal of the vast majority of reporters in the US today is to make a lot of money and become famous. And this is why they'll say whatever they're told to say by their corporate bosses.
