Two important reminders:
1. The actual job of politicians is lobbyism on behalf of the people.
2. The actual job of the press is to find out the facts when one person says it's raining & another says it isn't.
Not only is neither obliged to work for corporations & business interests - they both have specific obligations which can be broadly described as "not working for corporations & business interests".

The actual requirement for a politician is to get reelected.The actual requirement for a journalist is being paid and published.
We need to build systems that link their requirements to their purposes.

@notsoloud Well, their job is to get reelected / paid & published *for doing the actual job*!
It's like that for everyone; nobody is paid to show up at work - we're paid to *actually do the job*.
We have the system you ask for; we just also have certain groups who, while being paid to work within that system, chase rewards from other systems & face no sanctions for it.
