The headline exaggerates tremendously, but there is hint of truth. Contemporary journalism failed to be critical, perhaps as a reactionary compensation to really borderline insane theories sometimes spread through the net, but it was not the first time they supported questionable decisions through biased reporting. But everyone reiterating the Russia collusion and framed Assange as a Russian asset should be ashamed of themselves and other journalists should be ashamed to share the same profession. There was little reporting and a lot of hit jobs. Yes, there are even worse cases like governments poisoning critics like Nawalny. It doesn't even take much to notice that a redirection is also an admission of guilt. Perhaps journalism deserves the precarious position they find themselves in, but an open and honest press is something bitterly needed. There are some good outlets which suffer immensely under the pressure of the attention economy, but a lot of mainstream news media has degraded to entertainment to satisfy emotional needs of their readers.
