It's because they're rabid.  

This stopped being about journalism or hard hitting pieces the second journalism or hard hitting pieces weren't delivering the type of ire, scandal, and ideological opposition slamming individuals like Briebart, O'Keefe, and now Carlson, feel the 4th estate should be bringing and conveying...every single day.

If their true intent was journalism or hard hitting pieces, that while tracking down information and truths, ended up being scathing as a result of the light shed on the particular subject...they're doing it wrong.

Their motivation and tenacity, as it pertains to *journalism*, has a pre-condition.  That being...that their political *journalism* (which there's nothing wrong with that. there are many reporters who deal specifically with politics) must operate as a function that EXPRESSLY blasts/condemns or relays negative ideological intrigue.  THAT is not *journalism.* That is propaganda.  If you're a political reporter, even one who identifies personally with a certain ideology (and everyone does to some degree), you stopped being a real journalist the second you rationalize that your ideology dictates and directs what political stories you'll print or pursue.  And especially when it's done with the pre-intent of ideological disparagement.  We don't need positive or negative cheerleaders for the ideology you bathe yourself in as your identifier.  It divides us and is a completely foul and loathsome use and abuse of the institution of journalism.  

That's it exactly isn't it..

they aren't searching for news, they are scouring and pillaging for the next big scandal against the democrats.. if a (R) is somehow mixed into the scandal, he's dropped.. if not the whole story, and the march to ruin Obama or his party goes on..

Facts are the center. We don’t pretend that certain facts are in dispute to give the appearance of fairness to people who don’t believe them.  Balance is irrelevant to me.  It doesn’t have anything to do with truth, logic or reality. ~Charlie Skinner (the Newsroom)
