Personally, I believe journalism is still an important profession.
But I also think there's a big difference between investigative journalism that holds the rich and powerful to account, and bootlickers who will do anything for access to the rich and powerful.
More and more, Twitter is becoming the domain of bootlickers.
Nothing proves this more than the 💩 that Twitter auto-replies to press inquiries.
