Unwilling? Journalism printed money hand over fist for many years, at least newspapers did. How was the quality of journalism during e.g. Vietnam or the Gulf War to name two examples? Somewhere on the spectrum between outright propaganda and garbage.
Things are getting worse, but let's not pretend that when journalism was raking it in the quality was actually decent. Chomsky published Manufacturing Consent in 1988.

- ok_dad 3y agoProbably Facebook marketplace today, actually. I can’t find the same volume of decent stuff on CL any longer.
- amatecha 3y agoYeah, there are some keywords I used to search basically daily on CL. The results are less and less. I have a family member hop on FB marketplace (I don't use FB anymore) and there are numerous results for what I'm usually searching unsuccessfully on CL. Sad times. I get it, but yeah.. disappointing.
