Journalists have switched purpose. They used to investigate the power and be the voice of the people. But the last few decades they investigate the people, and protect the power. The few journalists that still exist have in many cases resorted to crowdfunding and personal blogs with difficult discoverability. And the mainstream tries to miscredit them by all means they can, such as the Trusted News Initiative (only listen to us), and fact-checking that many times are ridiculously false themselves. It's a shame, but I understand why they're clawing to remain in power, people can't know the truth or form their own opinions based on facts. That would be dangerous. And when the facts can't be disputed there are only 2 options, bury or miscredit.
