MODERATORS
Those poor bastards had no idea that by the time this would became reality, most of the results on screen would be junk they don't care to read. News coverage is sold to the highest bidder.
Do you think it was any different back then?
Yes. Definitely yes.
There were some pockets of propaganda, especially during election times, but it's nothing compared to the continuous avalanche that exists today.
Yeah pre the 24hr a day news cycle
WAY back in the day, news was fucking great. Especially in small towns. Stories would be like “Man takes bicycle trip 80 miles down to Townsville!”

Yeah, people would be surprised that listicles were a thing in newspapers.
Yellow journalism tho
That was the exception, not the rule though. Thus why a name was coined for it.
