I'm not sure a personal attack like this is appropriate. Your anecdote is no more valuable a data point than parents. My own (anecdote) mirrors OP - front page stories from major American publications like the WaPo and NYT often show downright shoddy research techniques - a lack of corroboration, a failure to consider all the relevant data, and a generally obsession with narrative writing rather than covering all the relevant facts. If you want to argue that journalism is strong in your country, you might start by giving an example of a typical publication from your country.
