once a year the brunchlords at Semafor host a "restoring trust in news" conference where they unironically platform most of the people responsible for destroying trust in news, then lob softball questions at them this year's lineup is a real doozy (notice the complete absence of indie media)

The almost complete absence of actual journalists! Almost entirely suits.

the people consistently the most out of touch on the very subject they're trying to discuss

Welker and a Fox News lady are the only people who could even vaguely be considered actual journalists (I guess Murray sort of), and they're both hosts of talk/interview shows. No actual print journalists other than Murray.
