While even journalists aren't perfect, there are many who try for the closest thing to honest, researched and vetted reporting. Please distinguish between the two. There have been a ton of politicians, pundits and the lime who've been working hard to blur the line so the well is poisoned. Ofc one can hear real to eat to God unbiased reporting and call it b"Fake News" if they've been carefully led to believe an entirely upside down version of the world. And that has been an intentional goal of the jihad infotainment serves. Enslaving voters to a narrative they already WANT to believe, rather than disappointing people with facts that they don't.

It's a question of what their goal is. Giving as much of an unbiased, objective recounting of facts you've uncovered with legit investigation that you can, or making claims in order to persuade in bad faith. Alex Jones... Lmao that dude isn't even doing that. He's just parading batshit crazy around for the world to see, lmao.

People like Maddow and Carlson don't personally present themselves to be jounalists, but they sure work hard to blur they line. They do no investigation. They take something an unrelated paper or source publishes, fit what it says to their narrative, spin it, and voila. They sure love trying to play unbiased News Anchor though.
