Investigative Journalism sorely needed

I am so frustrated by the lack of any real investigative journalism that seems to be going on right now.

It would seem to me that some journalist, or journalist wanna-be, would see the current situation as ripe for some serious investigative journalism and be hard at work investigating corroborating or disproving statements by the administration and it's congressional enablers and digging through all the figurative and literal dumpsters to find out what these people are all working so hard to conceal.

All we seem to be getting is partisan BS from the "journalist" who support or oppose the dolt in the oval office.
All I seem to see is what I call "bias confirmation" journalism that seeks only to validate one side or the other with little to no regard for the real truth and the deeper story.

A journalist with tenacity, good instincts and a willingness to "go there" would be a real plus for the nation right about now.
