34. are journalists supposed to just spread war propaganda?

I have just started listening and Wolf has started by calling the Admiral a "real real hero".

Overall I think journalists are TOO deferential to government officials, especially the military, but I'm reading here at DU that Wolf is INSUFFICIENTLY deferential, people are resenting Wolf for challenging him rather than asking him to celebrate our great war victories. I think this is insane frankly.
