npub1uxz060za0sz7uzncy45jcksak2lr9wks0hrgug54cvpm9ma8agkqs35ma4 (npub1uxz…5ma4) "News" is used too broadly in this context. Journalism, the kind seen in print, hasn't changed. What has changed is the rise of highly profitable *commentary* content. Fox News, even MSNBC let struggling newspapers shoulder the cost of reporting (covering beats is very expensive bc reporters have to constantly follow stuff they will never write up as well as stuff they will). Commentary shows then talk about the stuff real reporters uncovered, amp up the emotion and rake in $.
