Please allow me to have this mini rant, I'm not attacking op, because it's an informative article.

I just cannot fucking stand it when an article needs to tell me when things are jaw-dropping, stunning, shocking, mind bending. Fuck off with this bullshit, report the facts to me, let me decide how I feel about things. None of this is shocking or jaw dropping or unexpected, to anybody reasonably following affairs.

    Journalism has gone to complete dog shit. Half of it now is about reactions to a post on X.

    I agree. So much is just talking about what's being talked about and who's saying it. I'm old... so I'm not so naive to think it ever wasn't this way. But I definitely noticed a trend starting about 15 years ago... A precipitous drop in investigative journalism, and news cycle workers leaning on content from social media for their content.

    I will give a bit more credit to the posted article. At least it presented information and facts. Overall though I didn't feel like it gave the audience much credit. Also felt like they wanted to pad it with dead-horse topics like alcohol/travel news-memes instead of giving a broader overview, or wider scope of areas impacted/advantaged. This article wouldn't have passed 25 years ago, how sad that its among the better I've seen recently... sad face.
