Quote from: Bauer on Today at 03:18:59 PMThere's been a general decline in the quality of investigative journalism imo.  We get opinions and recycled associated press statements most of the time.

The proliferation of big click bait titles paired with fluff nonsense in the article covered in layers of ads has just killed reading journalism for me. Even for good media the barrage of pop-ups is insufferable.

It has kind of also happened for online shopping. Like I am just looking around for stuff and the constant non-sense from navigating sites. I almost would rather just drive to a store.

Sorry...at little off topic. Trump, despite all his failings, probably has nothing to do with that :P

I blame 24 hour news. When you have to fill time with something everything gets watered down.

*edit* basically it all boils down to my hate of CNN which started with the damn OJ trial :lol:

I blame Meta and it's ad business. Everything on the web is about creating engagement because that generates revenue.

Yes, and in turn legitimate news media have lost their source of funding and so cannot pay for the kind of journalism we once could take for granted.

In several surveys, the overwhelming first choice for what makes Canada unique is multiculturalism. This, in a world collapsing into stupid, impoverishing hatreds, is the distinctly Canadian national project.
