You’re right. What wastoute and so many others fail to understand is that propagandists ARE journalists, just of a different kind then straight news reporters.
It’s one thing to complain that there are fewer straight news reporters around, but journalism as a field encompasses so many different kinds of communication that to think straight-up reporting is the only true form of journalism is just ignorant.
Mine is just a suggestion. Do you have ideas that might work to address this? It does appear that technology like the Internet has the potential but it also hands a megaphone to delusional, vicious, sociopaths so technology may be an answer but will it work in time? It seems to me the libtards have already corrupted this. I surfed into a show, “Internet ruined my life” that is instructive. Vicious animal rights hactivists making death threats and other reprehensible behavior. It seems we have a hurdle yet to deal with on making the Internet an engine of Liberty rather than oppression.
