Now you have to understand this actually applies to everything in Journalism these days.
Recall the news back in the 70s and 80s - drab, brown, dingy tweed suits, maize and pea coloured sets - etc...
Now its all Tits & Glitz - every set is all snazzy with huge touch-screen display to show stupidly lame content - where they just needed a huge touch screen "technology wall" for no real reason, other than "because we are hip to tech!"
CNN, FOX, MSNBC are fucking cringe-factories. (Well, ALL of congress is the biggest cringe-factory)
So yeah - its always been that way and podcasters, such as Joe Rogan, Lex Fridman and many others have just shown what a ludicrus outdated and, needs-to-die-yesterday paradigm that which Murdoch built actually is. What a joke.
Pump-and-dump manipulation is inevitable.
There is the disinformation you dont know.
There is the disinformation you know you dont know.
There is the disinformation you dont know you dont know.
There is the disinformation you are told that you know, but you dont know.
There is the disinformation you know, but are told you dont know.
There is the disinformation diseminated by those who have been disinformed but dont know they are disinformed.
There is the disinformation diseminated by those who know its disinformation but know they are disinforming.
etc.
