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.
