I wish people wanted truth over having their feelings gratified. Years ago I noticed the John Campbell style journalism of drawing out how people feel take hold along with journalists themselves giving their own views and feelings (breakfast news then evening news). I became disgusted with the mainstream form of journalism which to me seems more like crafting a story, a pre-conceived narrative when, like you, I want them news people to have integrity to be about getting at the truth, bringing important things to light.
You've written an excellent article and I look forward to reading more of your work.
Thank you! And absolutely, mass media news has become a place for a preconceived narrative of ideas and clickbait rather than fact driven narrative, which is a tragic place for our mainstream 'journalism' to be at!
