I agree that the press in the US is neutered. They're petrified of appearing adversarial because they know their access will be cut off.

It's a bit of a self fulfilling prophecy if they never test the length of their leash-- they could easily make a story out of "we said X and so our access was cut off, this isn't right" but it'd require an ounce of spine.

Oh they're all for appearing adversarial. They just want to never actually be adversarial.
