When I was young, the Journalist School was estimed and produced the best writers in my country. In order to be enrolled in the Journalist School, one had to pass rigorous tests in current events and spelling/grammar.
Before I was aware of anything deep state or the likes, I noticed that the writing skills of journalists up through the 80's and 90's had deteriorated to a level worse than ever.
I didn't think of any "ulterior" motive back then, but when I look back today, I think it was a turning point. Journalists were always leftists, but now they were also ignorant, bordering to stupid. I think this is when the grooming started, and slowly turned critical journalism into mouthpieces of the big state.
I know I'm generalizing, but it seems to me the intelligent and critical journalists are very rare, and have to keep quiet so they are not outed and ostracized. Peer pressure is very strong...
Doesn't help that Wall Street is financing the transition of the educational system for dumb and dumber. All calculated to get to that good old tax payer funded scholership and debt money to run these students into the ground intellectually and financially. The goal is for that worthless diploma, with nothing behind it. Bet you anything it's all about that local, state or federal payroll job where the government employee does not even meet with the public but now we have to go through a phone system calculated to defeat you, to say nothing of their antiquated computer systems that are down every other day. We got ourselves a government that refuses to govern, and that is the way we have been infiltrated and why our country will grind to a halt if nothing is done soon.
The modus operandi are probably different from country to country, but it seems like a common denominator is the dumbing down of the people to make them obedient servants.
With the advent of Twitter, I noticed a trend in journalism to have articles be screenshots of tweets. That is not journalism, that is aggregation and regurgitation. It used to piss me off, because it was lazy. I have a different perspective now , but I still feel the laziness is permissive and I hope that changes going forward.
I hear yah!
