Real journalist is a paid mouthpiece, what you refer to as real journalists are the outsiders who do job you want them to do, but the nature of the job, why it exists in the first place is to be a propaganda machine. Thats how its been and will be forever. So again, the few exceptions wont save the profession. People think journalism got bad all of a sudden or even in the last hundred years and before it was all independent paragons of integrity uncovering the evils of the world for the masses. No, journalism always was the medium of the powerful to spread the message that needed to be relayed and normalized among the people at the time.

bs, take a look at 60 minutes, they are still breaking real stories with independent fact-checking and aren't taking any position when presenting the facts, they leave that for the audience. Just because the clear and vast majority of contemporary flash "journalism" has become so bastardized and corrupt, it doesn't mean it has always been that way, or that there aren't any honest outlets left.

Thats how its been and will be forever.

If 100% of all media is fake then go off the grid and don't ever turn on the TV, radio, or internet. You need to use some common sense and be more discerning then people did 100, 50 or even 10 years ago were. If you don't know how to seperate the wheat from the chaff so to speak, the yoiu have no curiosity and have a broken cutlure of learning.

Granted fake news is everywhere and almost all of these pozzed faggots have an agenda, but do yourself a favour and apply a critical thinking mindset, others won't do it for you or you will just get led astray by everyone.

No, journalism always was the medium of the powerful to spread the message that needed to be relayed and normalized among the people at the time.

So 60 minutes breaking the story about CCP bribing tribal leaders in the South Pacific is incredulous? All fake, no investigation cited or sources from ASIO, they are just trying to brain wash the people to buy more X product?

A presenter over at a network is not a journalist. A weather girl (sometimes permitting a meterologist) is not a journalist. A blogger or social media personality is not a journlist. A member of parliament is not a journalist. A sports commentator, an entertainemnt media marketer is not a journalist, but they all call each other one lately.

Maybe I'll call myself a doctor, start handing out "medical" advice opinion then you can paint all doctors with a broad stroke calling them quaks and treat your own ailments with chicken bones and voodoo?

You consider it a good journalism because it covers something you want to hear about in a way thats pleasing to you and that confirms the opinions you yourself already had. If 60 minutes negatively covered something you liked and put your trust in, no amount of investigative journalism and evidence would change your opinion. Sure CCP is garbage and just like every entity with power they are trying to increase that power. I am not going against that claim and i will believe mostly anything bad I´ll hear about them and their spies overseas. That doesnt change the fact 60 seconds is a mainstream program on CBS and therefore is nothing but propaganda. They let you see it because its safe to see it and because it doesnt go against the narrative. Everyone knows CCP is shit, everyone knows they are shady, everyone knows its safe to cover them negatively and even democrats who are used by them or straight up collude with them will tell the public CCP is shady, thats how ok it is to say it. Will 60 seconds do a segment on pedophilia and satanism within democratic party? On black on white violence? No. Because that would actually take guts, that would be going against the establishment, that would be showing the masses something they dont already know. That would be journalism.

And just to address your doctor analogy. Doctors are humans like everyone else, which makes 80% of them completely useless zombies who run on autopilot most of the time and have few generic answers for any pain, wound or ailment they´ve been using ever since they left school and forgot everything else but the few lines they need every day. Like in any field, there are very few experts, some idiots and ton of mediocrity. So yeah, you might as well diagnose and treat yourself if its not lethal and if it is, you can only pray you ll get a doctor who knows his shit and actually gives a shit, the odds are not in your favor. Unless you are rich and can afford to pick a verified expert in his field...
