I'm developing a theory that modern legitimate journalism covers itself in vapid fluff deliberately, as a means of camouflage against predators.
Teen Vogue, GQ, Rolling Stone all publish articles about handbag fashions and musicians' dalliances, in between some of the last remaining legitimate investigative journalism.
WaPo et al have been eaten by oligarchs, but nobody takes the fashion and music rags seriously, maybe?
Anyway, it's a wild ride scrolling their feeds, eg. nprofile1qy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnddaehgu3wwp6kyqpqmnqaehjgn2up7auwzyh5y6429xwytmjs6fea9azedypmj04qe4zsmwtghs (nprofile…tghs)
