I think the big change came when the media stopped seeing the public as the customer and instead started to sell their influence to advertisers and political parties. The ability to influence readers/viewers is the product now. The commercial and political advertisers are the customers.

That's when it turned into propaganda.

They always were that way the difference is the geographic location. When advertising and media was based in Madison Avenue, yeah it was liberal, they weren't evangelist SJWs they wanted to move product, now that is all focused on silicon valley it's totally out of step with most of the country, and most of the companies dont sell a product anymore, you are the product, your information, your eyeballs, your attention.

This is a good insight.

Journalism has been problematic in this country for over a hundred years, hell possible from its inception really. Sure there were varying degrees of transgressions and purposeful misrepresentation of the content etc. but now it certainly appears like its worse than ever before. Yellow Journalism anyone? Bias...well that's always existed. Misinformation is going to happen, but disinformation well one could argue that is a special form of subversion that borders on treasonous.

It may only be the business element of the breaking of journalism, but when in the very early 1900s advertisement starting becoming a significant part of the newspapers actual pages and a large portion of their revenue then is created another subversion to the authenticity of the writers reporting (obviously). You can trace the above historically and systematically. It wasn't always permeated by big advertising firms. This is propaganda 101. The problem is like with any institution or organization etc. it takes a long time to build up a reputation but hardly no time to lose it. This is just how human beings think and behave. Justly or unjustly.

Good journalism is hard and costs a lot of money.

Now everyone wants all the stories for free.

Most journalists are very aware of exactly what you're saying, I've talked to them.

Try this, try it for two days. Only say what you know to be 100% true. 100%. No exceptions. Tell me when you start and if you post anything here we'll test whether or not you pass or fail and when you do this and when that is the standard, then you'll know how fucking hard being a journalist is.

Journalism is the fourth estate and it is essential for the health of our Republic, but it is not easy.
