CV and mad panic behaviour

[Baggers]

From what I can tell,  many so-called journalists are actually purveyors of propaganda or political activists.

So true, Fluffy One. There was a time when journalism held a deal of esteem... today's journalists, often, are nothing other than those who can get the most 'clicks'. Click bait and how magnetic that bait is, is the only skill required. Integrity and dignity can go and get stuffed, they don't get 'clicks' driven by sensationalism, rumour, exaggeration, embellishment and plain old bullsh1t.

However, if you dig hard enough you will find brilliant and deeply informative journalism in non-mainstream media, journalists motivated by integrity and TRUTH not clicks, not popularity. Some of our greatest literary heroes and heroines have been and are courageous investigative journalists... just gotta dig. And most would rather eat out of supermarket bins than write for News Corp....
