Media Ignores?

What ever happened to good old investigative journalism? Does it cost too much and take too long to produce a good and carefully researched story? Is there a risk of libel and slander suits that scares big media off?

To ask another question, what ever happened to journalism? Is every story a simple headline and two-step of reporting the majority opinion with a insert on the direct opposite opinion? Is this balanced news reporting or is it a cop out? Does good journalism sell?

If the story can be summarized in half an hour of well edited programming can the same story be reduced to one minute and thirty seconds of editorial comment?

Is the standard question media bias or is it a broader and more complex multi-layered issue of how media-in-the-name-of ignorance sells?

What is "the media"?
