Well, TV and radio news are junk services and I think enough people knows that already. This begs the question: if you know regular mainstream news outlets are junk, where will you get your news from?

It is no wonder people is looking for news elsewhere. Periodists today are panicking and organizing so many propaganda campaigns in order to attempt to restore the reputation of TV, radio and newspapers, while shunning alternative sources of information. The issue is the damage has already been done and nobody trusts periodists anymore.

I mean, if 100% of the things experience which get published in mainstream media are published in an inaccurate, distorted or straight manipulated way, what reason do I have to believe the rest of the newspaper content is any different? Which incentive do I have to buy a newspaper?

Also, most periodist types I know in person are assholes.

Periodists made people look for stuff elsewhere. They lit this fire. Let them burn in it. The only regret is we still have no good news outlets.
