33. The real question is whether truthful accurate reporting...
was ever really normal. The whole Owens River robbery perpetrated by Los Angeles is a good example of newspapers colluding to black out an issue. IIRC all but one paper in Los Angeles (in a time when they were the only form of news) was involved, and at least one of the paper owners was a major player in the deal. Another example is the reporting done about effects of the two bombs dropped on Japan at the end of WWII - the NYT got a Pulitzer for basically lying.
