The “news” has become nothing about imparting information, and all about speculating about things they can’t actually know anything about.

Heh. It's always been so. News publication was never about "informing." It's about manipulation and "conforming." So-called "news" is nothing but a thinly-disguised propaganda effort to form public opinion, not inform public debate.

Granted, there are tidbits of information in the reporting, but never complete information, and nearly always in a wrapper of misdirection and erroneous conclusion.
