I run into TV news people in Minneapolis (and St. Paul) routinely - also writers and editors from the local newspapers. Good people that live here as neighbors and are doing their jobs for both their paycheck and their community.
Journalism isn't gone - it's alive and well. It just hasn't extended into the internet.
Much more fraud on the internet than journalism. And it doesn't help that Russia, China, Iran, North Korea, etc. have teams of fraudsters paid to post anti-US garbage all day every day.
You made a really good point earlier. "Consider the source." That point, too, is alive and well. Much more than ever.
