It is the function of the intellectual [journalist] in any society not to be an uncritical "patriot" of the regime but rather to point out the flaws and discrepancies between what a nation professes and what it actually practices. For no nation lives up to its public statements. https://www.oldsoftware.com/Duty%20of%20Intellectuals.html

Investigative journalists cannot reply on one main source of funding and be uncritical. Although this organization is able to do some good work, this is not enough. If you have been following the commercial media you can see (for example, follow reporting on the Israel/Gaza war) how much is left out and how much is misinformation. Look to who funds commercial media. We need a media free of corporate and the one percent control. Investigative journalists need to be free of mostly one-source funding.
