> Traditional media hosts a profession (journalism) with a code of ethics, editorial oversight, minimal standards, a mission of truth-seeking
Which traditional media outlets follow those things nowadays? Genuine question, looking for information and news to consume.
almost all of the major ones? voices on the internet have lead people to believe that the journalists at major publications are biased, and that somehow also means they're lying and unethical.
what's interesting is that those opinions are taken at face value without ever happening to do any practical evaluation about traditional media outlets.
the reality is, if you ever read any alt-news publication it becomes evident extremely quickly how deprived of any standards those publications actually are.
