Have some self respect and journalistic integrity.
In America it really does seem like we can only trust some independent sources and media, certainly not the major networks that are bought and owned.

What super specific and targeted definition do you have for “real journalism”?
I suspect a more naunced response would have been given when using more ‘open’ phrasing: “How to define ‘real’ journalism?”.
It sounds like they’re conflating “investigative journalism” with regular journalism which includes everything from reporting menial events to breaking news, or even video game reviews. They’re mostly generalizing bc major news outlets are capitalist machine that spend little and maximize income (gossip, outrage,etc). They’re blaming the workers that do what they’re paid to do and fired if they don’t.
We had a whole big thing about ‘just following orders’ a while back. Turns out sometimes it’s not a valid excuse.
