I do not think anyone disputes that. Then again, in the copywriter's age, yellow papers are bastions of journalism.

  > Then again, in the copywriter's age, yellow papers are bastions of journalism. This might sound profound but it doesn't actually make any sense.

    I remember Matt Lauer asking Bernie Sanders why people were responding to his campaign. Sanders answered that it was because he was talking about things that the media doesn't cover - inequality, lack of healthcare, lack of education, the rich rigging the economy. Then he asked Matt how many times he had covered those topics. Matt just stared back - like a deer in the headlights. They quickly cut to commercial.

    I think the parent means that the vast majority of published material is disguised native content such as "submarine" PR pieces, product placement, unmodified press releases etc. Since the overall standards have sunk so low, yellow journalism starts to look good by comparison.
