"Or will Audette, who worked at PBS Frontline for decades, finally do the right thing...?"
Not in a million years. (But probably *would* do it for far less than a million dollars.)
These people are disgusting. "Notability" is far from the biggest thing lacking in any of them. They willingly (with pride, even) admit (boast) that they are absolutely for sale, that they will betray any person or principle, manipulate, reframe, fabricate and straight up lie for money, "notability", political or personal belonging - whatever reason they see fit, and they're surprised that 70% of the public views them with contempt. But the biggest lies are reserved for what they tell themselves - they're the "good guys". Giving themselves awards, log-rolling social media posts, sad little pats-on-the-back, all the while pretending that "journalism" is still a noble profession.
