Journalism should have been all the more important than before given so much misleading information and controversies on social media. Did X really say Y? Under which context? Why would A push policy B? What's A's rationale? How did the policy work? What are the trade-offs? What are the data, facts, and logic that support claim C? And of course all kinds of cover-ups by local government. Deep and comprehensive reports can shed lights in this confusing world. For instance, is the US K-12 education system really this bad? I think it is, and it is even worse than the gloomy situation depicted in the documentary Waiting for Superman? But is my frustration really founded? A former secretary of education, whose name I forgot, also claimed that the documentary was detrimental to the teacher's union and the K-12 education system. What was her angle? Why did he say so? And this is probably the least controversial topic I have in my mind. Instead, journalism got marginalized and polarized. It's sad.
