Journalism, once a vaunted profession, has assumed the same value and worth as reality TV.
Reality TV has more credibility than the MSM but then they have always been this way. They were by and large supporters of democrats and the opposition to Lincoln and the Union war efforts.
There was a paper in New York that was secretly bought by a consortium made up of Jefferson and democratic republican supporters who used it to trash the Washington administration. Of course, the democratic republicans later rechartered as the democrat party. The media has been mostly partisan scumbags through our history.
When was that?
