Agreed. Those are all straw men, rather than the the natural consequence of a journalism education.
As came out in the Dominion v Fox News discovery, even the most political journalists are still disgusted by the things they have financial and management pressure to peddle.
I can understand someone who works at a newspaper and makes 70k a year so they have to report on sensational stories but Tucker Carlons net worth is $380~ million.
The key people at Foxnews were shocked and mad at the outrageous claims but for them the ends justify the means.
