What the public doesn't understand is the breadth and depth of the corruption -- in part because not a single journalism organization has even attempted to show sleaze like this in context. Instead, we get one-offs like this (excellent) story.
We get lots of coverage of individual brush fires, but no one shows that the entire forest is ablaze.
