Journalism, again.

My cousin, George Murray, worked as a producer for CBS covering the major party's conventions of 1976. A high school friend works for CBS in NYC as a television investigative journalist. TV journalist and author, Edwin Newman read a letter at George Murray's eulogy in the United Nations Chapel, which he wrote to a team sadly cancelling the investigation of the common soldiers view of the Vietnam Conflict. The National Archives states that the first "White House Press Secretary" (which Andy Rooney states he'd never want to be) was George B. (M.) Cortelyou, who was standing next to President William McKinley at the Pan American Exposition in Buffalo, NY when he was shot, dying eight days later while then Vice President Theodore Roosevelt was hiking in the Adirondacks, who had to be rushed from Mt. Marcy (Tahawas) to catch the train, and sadly, to read the telegram, in North Creek, NY. Later it would become the hamlet of the first commercial ski operation in the east, later Gore Mountain opened down the Peaceful Valley Road. Today they want to reconnect the skiing, and are petitioning NY's governor. The National Archives article, however, has left out Dee Dee Myers in its review of White House Press Secretaries, she served three years in the Clinton administration, the first and only woman so far. My question is, if American journalism becomes the province of a politics that can cancel investigations from unseen "higher ups" (for example by Secretaries of State, or generals, etc. over redefined situations) how can American journalism keep its cherished ideals of truthfulness and honesty? Under the statue of Horace Greeley, in NYC's City Hall Park, a New Hampshire native who lived in Chappaqua, NY, (currently the town of former President William Clinton, only the second President to address the NY Historical Society, and NY's Senator Hillary Clinton) who coined the phrase, "Go west young man and grow up with the country" and next to the monument of Joseph Pulitzer, by the once "newspaper row" are the human remains of the "First Almshouse" when the park was a "commons". Nearby was the recent "African Burial Ground" in the news. Should the "market" have such a large a share in the news that it becomes the area once occupied by "industrial espionage"? It is always a danger of public officials' use of government for self and hired interests. My grandfather, Joseph Myers, was a real estate reporter for the "New York Record" and made it with his eleven kids through the Depression by telling coal dealers which people could need a new coal contract, I hope journalists stay out of "sidelines".
