I’m not a fan of standard media, but I think that’s an unfair assumption. The least it is too general. I’m sure there are many journalists who care deeply about topics they write about.
Maybe my phrasing was imprecise - I didn't mean they don't care about it at all, just that after the initial rush has worn off, often you do your job because you have to, while you work on your personal projects only when you're impassioned.
