In my childhood years, we had newspapers to read the news. And news stations to watch on TV. Credible sources spreading credible information. The position of editor either on print or on TV was a position of respect - and, more importantly, it was one of responsibility. If an editor was wrong, it was very serious. Career killing serious.
Now it's just some random guy posting some random stuff. Then another random guy linking the random stuff.
When are we going to wake up and realize we're going downhill?
