Investigate Journalists still exist, they are just bloggers who tell us to do our own research.
It sucks. I’d much rather the nameless investigative journalist have the reputation of an established (and importantly, trusted) press agency standing behind them.
Investigative journalism, nowadays, is useless unless it comes from a highly trusted individual, or with the backing of a trusted entity. And that’s not what we have these days. We have borderline propaganda produced by idiots who have no concept of context and barely any real understanding of the topic they are trying to convey in the first place.
Oh, and Opinion columns presented as fact. We have those too.
