My friend Ed Lyons is taking investigative reporting into his own hands because media can’t be trusted to not screw up their 4th estate duties that they always trumpet when questioned about their value to society:

When the government said everything was fine, it was easier to believe them than ask questions. Coverage was scattershot, especially at the Globe where there were more than 20 stories about the Connector failure, and several reporters doing them. The stories shifted from health policy reporters to general interest reporters, and there didn’t seem to be a coherent, continuous narrative about what was happening. The press didn’t seem to understand the consequences of the state not being able to process website applications.
