In the end, journalism (without the quotes) runs into two problems:
1) It is a business. That means the primary concern of the people running it is on generating revenue/profit. Nothing wrong with that in the abstract, but it creates problems in practice--the types of stories that you tell and the way you tell them, the fact that you end up (if you want to stay in business) catering to a particular audience (and its preferences). even if everything you publish is 100% true (and nothing is), there are still a lot of games that get played because playing that game will generate more revenue.
2) Journalists are human--as such they have egos and personal desires (even if they have no substantive journalistic bias). Journalism IS a sort of power and is fame--and power and fame tend to be toxic more often than not.
