One of the problems with having a compliant, subservient media is that the public gets reassured far too easily about things that don't really call for such reassurance. The focus of the media's coverage on the Iran nuclear deal has been that it's "historic" and that it prevents Iran from getting nuclear weapons - in large part because of the ability of the U.S. and its allies to inspect Iran's nuclear sites.
Obama says it, the media repeats it, you think that's how the deal works. Anyone in the media could get access to the deal and read it, but most don't. There's stuff to do, deadlines to meet, people not clapping enthusiastically enough for Caitlyn Jenner. Hey, what do you expect from them?
