Harvard, for example. The elite institution has groomed some of history's greatest monsters (Ted Kaczynski, Pete Buttigieg, the guy who planned the sneak attack on Pearl Harbor) and egregious perverts (Jeffrey Toobin, all the Kennedys). Harvard's elite president, Claudine Gay, resigned in disgrace this week after Aaron Sibarium and the Washington Free Beacon published what so-called professional journalists have described as "accusations" of plagiarism but was actually pretty straightforward "evidence" of plagiarism. (Not to mention her baffling remarks in congressional testimony about the propriety of promoting Jewish genocide.)

to paraphrase Sowell -- When those who are accustomed to preferential treatment are treated equally they will feel it is racism/discrimination/etc

I taught at an HBCU (historic black college or university). Academically, plagiarism was a definite no-no. Our students understood what was considered plagiarism and what was not. It is amazing a school with the creds of Harvard are so lax regarding plagiarism.

I can answer the question quite simply.
These so-called journalists have been taught, trained, indoctrinated, into believing that narrative is more important than facts. That the way things SHOULD BE is more important than the way things ARE. And that feelings are more important than actions.
They no longer tell you what is happening, they tell you what you should think about what is happening. Because that is what they have been told to do - and what the current business model supports.
Like it or not, in today's media world, clicks = revenue. And "hot takes" gain FAR more clicks than honest-to-goodness factual reporting with a focus on accuracy and journalistic standards.
