I'm sure they do, but, as I have said many times, journalists are people too with all their faults. A lot of people who have been standing up for Trump may abandon him when he loses power, but they will be judged on what they did and said, journalists included. He has done his best to discredit any media that doesn't suit him and some people bought into that. When ever I hear 'all media' or 'all politicians' I know some bullshit is coming :)

Sort:  

I think journalism hasn't been so great for a while now, as it is all about clicks. Clicks drive advertising revenue, which is the only way they can survive - and because of the way we are attracted to drama and celebrity, there is no reason to do much research to feed us.

Is that all journalism? Generalisation are usually wrong. What is the alternative? 'Citizen journalists' have a bias too and lack the resources to properly investigate some stories. You can't do everything from a basement lair :) You have to be selective in what news sources you trust and trust has to be earned.
