Just like Sharyl Attkisson, who famously left CBS News because they wouldn't allow investigations critical of the administration, Meyers is critical of network news' ability to do its job, which is to keep the government honest.
I also worry that journalists today appear to have chosen sides when it comes to political coverage. I think you see that in the sagging approval numbers of TV news over the last few years. We've seen trust in the media hit its lowest level ever in 2013 or 2014 surveys and I think the lack of depth and the feeling that too many journalists have chosen sides has caused viewers to question whether we are giving it to them straight and whether we are making a politically balanced presentation.
