    where tf were the journalists while Santos was running his campaign on these false claims?

    There aren’t enough journalists to go around. There are hundreds of congresspeople and there definitely aren’t hundreds of journalists covering random unimportant congresspeople.

    People have voted with their dollars, saying they don’t care enough about vetting congresspeople before they’re elected to actually pay the salaries of journalists to do that.

      Wow, so It’s almost as if expecting unregulated capitalism to solve this problem is not working? How could that be?

      Oh well, I guess we just need to ignore the problem until it gets better.
