It sounds like they’re conflating “investigative journalism” with regular journalism which includes everything from reporting menial events to breaking news, or even video game reviews. They’re mostly generalizing bc major news outlets are capitalist machine that spend little and maximize income (gossip, outrage,etc). They’re blaming the workers that do what they’re paid to do and fired if they don’t.
We had a whole big thing about 'just following orders' a while back. Turns out sometimes it's not a valid excuse.
