There was never an era like that, it's more nonsense and outright propaganda from schemers who want to claim that their own free-style lies are just as valid as formal journalism.
- adamrezich 7y agoWhat are you talking about? Few have ever had access to printing presses or television studios. Until everyone had a smartphone in their pocket at all times, global information dissemination was controlled by a wealthy few. Now these people have to compete for the same attention as Random Guy On YouTube #337917402. The playing field has been leveled—these behemoth "journalistic" establishments have to compete for the same attention-scraps as everyone else. "Journalists" are not special anymore, they're just the same as everyone else with a smartphone (so, everyone else), yet it seems many struggle to accept this, judging by many comments here and elsewhere.
