Journalism isn’t “leftist,” though it’s often said truth has a leftwing bias. Critics usually look at journalism through a periscope, but that’s not how it works. (For those in this thread who don’t know, I’m a journalism school grad and worked at a daily newspaper for over 30 years.) Reporters write stories from facts. There’s a step-by-step process in reporting. Real journalists do that. Unfortunately, there are too many non-journalists who are thought of as journalists.
One thing I will agree with you on, though: strictly internet sources are too often clickbait. One “liberal” source I absolutely can’t stand and avoid is Politicsusa, which floats a lot of crap on Facebook. There are similar sources on the right. And it’s not going to change. The important thing is for people to recognize this stupid crap and to avoid it.
And yes, this topic should be in Politics since that’s the underlying topic we’re all addressing here.
Didn’t reply to this in my earlier post. You’re wrong here. These organizations fact check. Just because they don’t agree with your stand doesn’t say they’re the ones that are wrong.
