I agree that the journalist need to get back to reporting the facts, and not on relying on special interest groups who think they know the facts.The journalist of today are becoming very complacent and mainly relying on sources,rather than investigating what the sources are passing on to them.Our tv news media are also becoming very complacent in their investigative style reporting because of their conflict with their advertising sponsors.Hawaii has become a very closed minded and uninformed community,and are too afraid to ask the hard questions of our politicians and the news media.Our community is so small that people don't want to make waves, because it could have a negative impact on their current or future employment.The media has unfortunately taken the low road and primarily report on the traffic, accidents,the weather,sports, and little events that take place daily. It has lost its fact finding journalism to  special interest groups who keep us in a bubble of Aloha and Trust!
