Journalism has always been hated by those in power and by proxy their followers.

It's arguable thats a sign that they're doing a good job.

Few profession I have more respect for than journalists and police.

Most of them are trying to fight evil and make society better and are disliked for it.

They are a gritty grizzled bunch.

I’m with you on journalists, but the police have so many bad apples that I think the profession itself attracts the wrong kind of people.

Sometimes journalists (or "journalists") are the ones in power or they are controlled by those in power

[hiccuphippo]

I'd argue once it is controlled by those in power it stops being called journalism and becomes propaganda.

I have a hard time thinking of any such example.

Certainly their editors and the publisher/owner, but journalists themselves?
