What's ironic about Mulder's situation is that, as best I can recall, the depiction of the media in that show tended to be pretty negative, and characters like Jose Chung and the movie producer who shows up in the last seasons tend to make a mockery out of Mulder's (highly mockable) life's work. Even if he did find "evidence," would you trust these clowns to help him publicize it?
Also, the reverse is sometimes seen - the hero, and the journalist who keeps their secrets, ala Matt Murdock and Ben Urich.
Or even, in the case of Superman and Spider-Man, the hero who's also a journalist and can publicize his own findings. Once again, comic books for the win!
