You can really tell that we barely have any journalists anymore.

There are basic questions they didn't bother to investigate, like: how long had Pablo been in the country? Where was he even from? What does it mean that the girl was "mentally incapacitated"?

But when a country loses two-thirds of its journalists in two decades, there's no time for questions like those. You just grab a press release from the D.A. or something and reprint it.
