    Worked at a newspaper for a few years.

    With very few exceptions, they do not give a fuck about you or the news. The advertisers are their customers and your attention is their product.

          I never understood why people think journalism was better before.

          Now we just have internet to fact check and communicate with friends about it, so it is just exposed. I know it is unreliable, but much better than anything 50+ years ago.
