These are the three words we need to meme into existence:
"Journalism is Dead"
And it really is. Fake news and the nonstop clockbait have ruined the industry. But theres still a lot of nornies out there who listen to the news. However they are starting to loose trust. I see even my most liberal friends start to question certain bits of liberal news from time to time.
So let's push them over the edge.
Insult journalists and call then incompetent. Point out any hypocrisy in the news to your liberal friends. And the follow it with the words "Journalism is Dead".
Walter Duranty says hi.
The press has been pushing bullshit left narratives for generations. What's changed recently is that Twitter and the various Journo-lists have moved what their bubbles consider OK far into the insane propaganda zone. Any shred of self-questioning or restraint has been wiped away.
The New York Times, the most "respectable" US paper for ages upon ages, published literal Stalinist propaganda denying mass murder and won the "respectable" Pulitzer Prize for it.
Your Golden Age fallacy has no basis in fact.
