This is actually great news. The msm gets their marching orders from the AP wire and govt actors. There lies their weakness and your opportunity.
Be a Gary Webb type reporter and stay independent. Sniff out stories and use classical journalism methodology. A good story will always get humanity's attention. Be a pioneer in the independent press. Be a muck raker, it is a blast and you may make some interesting friends. Do not wait for someone else to teach you, steal your opportunity.
