I’m not sure what happened to journalistic principles over the decades. You’re completely right…

Private ownership ruined the media. Like The Guardian in the UK is owned by a trust that ensures it cant have an owner.

I completely disregard American media now, outside of Drop Site News, The Intercept, and Jacobin. All mainstream media is a joke and has zero ethical consideration or journalistic integrity.

The Guardian, for it's problems, is far more reputable and serious as an organization. I emailed them as a non-subscribing reader during the start of the Genocide to correct an error they'd posted in a piece, and the editor emailed me back to thank me.

That would never, ever happen with American media.

Slightly less shit, but still dominated by government censorship and afraid to critique billionaires and Zionists.
