I don't think anyone has any illusions anymore that journalism as a means of informing the reader is at best dying, if not already dead. If a news organization can lie, then there is no point in in reading news, because fictitious news has no value to the reader. Throw in the polarization and sensationalism between the absurd right and left political extremes, and you have theater, not news.

I now follow journalists that I've vetted and trust to some extent, and heavily use sites like this to help filter the nonsense. I'll skim BBC and Al Jezeria English, but even them, I withhold opinion until I can get a sense of accuracy and corroboration.

I feel Apple may have the best approach. Comment on nothing, release press releases, and only conduct interviews with vetted reporters.
