Yes! I feel the lack of local journalists & newspapers is part of the issue b/c they use to do deep dives on ALL candidates but many lack resources & staff to do this anymore. Wasn’t that the case with Santos? The local paper had some info but not the resources to pursue the story?

You just nailed it. Local news orgs and investigative reporting has taken a huge hit in recent years.

Even MSM is failing to conduct adequate investigative reporting anymore. So we're seeing the result of a failure at both the local and national level but most importantly local.

Indeed! This is why the consolidation of media outlets is also a bad thing. When only a few entities own all the newspapers, radio, & TV stations, it becomes a monopoly that’s hard to undo & can be used to unduly influence or withhold information. R. Murdoch is a good example of why it's bad.
