> I'd argue that, to a large degree, mainstream media and journalism are not even compatible with each other. Agreed. And that's that's the crime against intelligence. The polar opposite of journalism is calling themselves journalists. As long as we follow that lead and reinforce that legitimacy of that lie. we'll be subject to misinformation, damage to person and community, etc. So for starters, those of us who know better (e.g., the author of the original article) need to stop using the word journalism / journalist when they don't apply. As I like to say: If your pet barks, do you call it a cat? Of course not. This isn't any different.
