I don’t have time to do requests through the freedom of information act and potentially have to fight some bureaucrat because I’m not a journalist

Why do you hold such strong opinions about something about which you are not well-informed?

edit: also, we need more citizen journalist to help fill the void as unfortunately local newspapers are disappearing

We DO need more and better journalists that investigate and find the truth and inform people. Right now it feels like media companies all have some kind of agenda and everything is just clickbait to generate revenue.

100% and commercial social media algorithms amplify the clickbait and bury and nuanced perspectives
