I don't really see much investigating going on. All of the advertisers pay for these news conglomerates, which are mostly divisions of a much larger media organization. If they want an exclusive story or interview, they have to follow certain rules and formats that will appease these advertisers or they risk losing all of their money. If you want an Obama interview, they give you a list of questions to ask, when to ask them, how to ask them, where the lights should be, where the cameras should point, who can be there when it takes place, and on and on.

That's entertainment, but it's no longer the news. Most of the real journalism is done by people that have distanced themselves from these quasi-corrupt news giants.
