Yes, the interesting part is that we pretty much all know that the news industry is in a terrible state, with a small fraction of the total money it used to have and terrible incentives attached to most of what's left - whoever posts a hot take with a clickbait title on any actual news tends to win all the traffic, and therefore all the money, regardless of how accurate it is. Yet so many people want to act as if they have the same reputation and trustworthiness as they've always had. I'm not sure what the solution is, or if there even is one, but it's become very difficult to trust "anonymous sources" over the last 10+ years or so.
