Progressives-Muckrakers+(2-2)

Working conditions they tried to reform: The progressives and muckrakers tried to reform unsafe and unsanitary conditions in meat processing factories, unsafe machinery, child labor, bad lighting, low and unequal wages. Areas in which they were criticized for not attempting to correct: The progressives and muckrakers were criticized for race relations, unequal rights for blacks, and holding secret ballots.

The muckrakers today are very little bias to the muckrakers of old. They give their side of the story to the extreme and stretch the truth to make their side of the story look better. This does help to bring attention to issues that need attention.
