Back in the 80's, probably before, I read an article by one of the prominent talking heads of the time and he was decrying the loss of journalism primarily due to the news rooms of the TV networks etc being converted from purely news reporting, or journalism to profit centers. When that trend happened it created cable news outlets etc that were profit oriented, they had to "sell" to survive. As I said that was long ago and today we can see the result of that trend, actual journalism and "news" have mostly disappeared, now it's all opinion. There are still a few sources I trust, but only a select few. And then look at yesterdays SCOTUS hearing, several of the justices were totally misinformed and didn't seem to actually have ever read the Constitution. While the loss of journalism is a problem, having members of the highest court dictating to us based on hearsay opinion very directly impacts our daily lives.
