The biggest threat to “journalism” today is the utter lack of journalism. Virtually all MSM “journalists” are little more than mouthpieces for the powers promoting socialist/fascist agenda. Real journalism at the national level is all but dead. All that is left is thinly veiled spin, bias, and propaganda. More and more, they don’t even bother with the thin veil. Journalism is dead or dying due to the actions of the journalists, not some nebulous “big tech” boogieman. But even there, blaming big tech, big oil, big XYZ... is a very socialist/fascist thing to do. Got to try to rile up the masses with emotion.
“Journalism” died with Watergate.
Your post nails it.
