Right. However if newspapers would start investigating the war expenses, don't you think they would find billions wasted in corruption?
You thinking maybe we don't trust the military-industrial complex? I Ike the way you think.
I think they are investigating that though, right? It's just a different sort of story, requiring more reporting investment and more specialized reporters. I've seen lots of reporting on the war over the past months (humanitarian, economic, military, etc. etc.)
Obviously though most of that reporting is institutionalist, serves western interests, etc. I just don't expect different from the corporate press
