      Not really a new problem.

      Hearst papers were lying about mine strikes in the 1800’s, because they had a vested interest. (Blazing Saddles, while being a comedy, nails it).

      Though I agree it’s risen to new heights, where an even higher percentage of “content” is garbage.

      Thrilling take. So informative. You’re definitely the Neo to the modern day “journalism” matrix.
