"low standards of evidence, exhibit poor logical reasoning, or engage in obvious bias"

I don't disagree with any of this. Unfortunately these are the only muckrakers we've got. Everyone else just smiles and nods until the muck is shoved in their face.

I've heard plenty about what's wrong with "these modern times", but this must be the first time ever for that particular criticism.
