      Definitely agree for the most part. I would say that independent news like AP, and the Guardian (arguably), do have reputations they try to uphold, but I hear you

        My thoughts exactly. There are a lot of things that look like a newspaper but are just very long editorials. On the other end we still have a few kinda reputable sources that actually do some journalism work (debunking, actually investigating on site, arguing …).

        Journalism and all forms of counter power look super weak in my county but mixing everything up just makes the important work even weaker.

          Yeah, though it doesn’t help that there are fewer and fewer sources to rely on. It just takes one large bribe to break an organisation, and the less orgs there are, the smaller the bribe needs to be…
