Hossenfoof, or: The Travesty That is [Modern Mainstream] Journalism

There was once a time when [some mainstream] journalism contained straight facts and not a reporter’s, writer’s, anchor’s, or editor’s absurd (and often insulting) theories, opinions, ideas, and conjectures. I am not generalizing it all, as I feel that there are still credible news sources and factual journalism (what an oxymoron these days); they are just more difficult to locate. And as if to prove my point, thanks to the birth of the Digital Age, editing and corrupting the content of a news story to make it one’s own is, unfortunately, easier than ever. It almost seems as if there are more amateur filmmakers than genuine reporters.
