I totally agree with you but also confirm my point. You're talking about CNN and Fox as if they were typical news providers. Fox News never was a real news channel, and CNN only for a brief period of time during Golf War 1 and briefly thereafter. Both of them have never been great for getting news. These US TV channels are media entertainment companies.
- chrisco255 7y agoThese are the top rated cable news channels: Fox, MSNBC, and CNN. I agree they're not good for news, but this is what people tune into.
- 13415 7y agoSure, but that's irrelevant goalpost-shifting. The original claim was that there has been a decline in journalistic integrity. Neither news agencies nor any reputable journals are working in any other way than they used to - I see no noticeable decline in any of the good newspapers or in the work of major news agencies. On the contrary, access to good journalism has never been as easy as today. You can sit at home and watch a journalist risk his life to get you first-hand in-depth reports from Taliban in Afghanistan or from Mexican drug gangs. These kind of documentaries didn't even exist twenty years ago, yet people complain about a "decline of journalism" because "they heard it on Internet"...
