> Journalism is supposed to be critical, no? Otherwise it is just rehashed press releases.

But the people who put out those press releases, like tech executives and investors, want it just be rehashed press releases. They actually got their wish for a looong time, and came to feel they were entitled to it.

Most journalism is just press releases. I am surprised people are just now figuring this out.
