When I talk about “legal journalists” here, I’m referring to the handful of people who have been employed by a legacy media outlet for 40 years and have all the justices’ cell numbers. If bloggers like me were more influential, Supreme Court media coverage would be much better, possibly perfect.

The traditional SC press corps will never acknowledge that the SC itself is broken because, as you described in your excellent article from 2021, legal journalism is broken, too.
