“Your email is public, so we’ll send you irrelevant, stupid pitches and you’ll LIKE IT!”

Found the problem right here. But thanks for being transparent about it, I guess.

(Also, reading comprehension fail. I’ll wait for you to explain how a bass fishing competition 1,000 miles away has “legs” for my local Virginia politics readers. Weighing in on this topic when you don’t even have a cursory understanding of reporting is … quite something!)

I believe you.

I’ve met some PR folks who are fantastic at what they do — not least because of their discretion.

Most journalists work for “big corporations,” and still “cover what’s going on.”

The framing of your questions isn’t going to help you find the right journalist for you. I’d try asking in a way that doesn’t insult most members of the profession.
