Quite so. But there's been a cycle of "bob's a real journalist, not like the others; sally's a real journalist, not like the others" a LOT this year.... regrettably it related to whatever dirt they released. Very No True Scotsman-esque.
It's been super clear that certain news orgs: NYT, WaPo, and a few others, have been on the ball, focusing on real issues, real dirt, real ethics. Other orgs (Breitbart, HuffPo) are largely organs of ideologies. Vox is somewhere in the middle: real news (more so than HuffPo), but with an avowed Left play.
Right now I happen to be a subscriber to the NYT and the New Yorker. WaPo might also get my $$$ in the next few months or so.
