In years past, when journalism was trusted by consumers much more than it is today, The New York Post might have been nominated for a Pulitzer Prize for its reporting about Hunter Biden’s laptop. New Twitter owner Elon Musk might have also won awards for his revelations of collusion between Twitter, intelligence officials who claimed the story was Russian disinformation and leading Democrats who were in touch with social-media owners to suppress stories that might have harmed Joe Biden’s election as president.
There is a snobbery among the journalistic elite, which distrusts information that doesn’t come from certain organs, like The New York Times, The Washington Post and major broadcast media.

The so-called “journalistic elite” are a bunch of morons. Not one of them would recognize the truth if it bit them on their arses.

They didn't give up doing their job, they changed their job from reporting the news to coloring the news and framing the news to paint a wrongful picture to the American people, they changed their job of being unbiased reporters of the truth to being in colusion and with the liberal Dem party, by lying and twisting the truth against political opposition. They have now become suspect in anything they say, they have killed any iota of trust that may have been left in them, they are now the enemy of truth and justice and the American people.

I wish there was a way to do away with the media. They are harmful to this country and have been for years.

If today’s “journalist” probably knows and is aware of the truth. He also knows that if he prints the truth he is gone,

The newspaper people on the ground know that they are useful idiots who keep their Jobs by following the instructions of the owners. No one bucks the system in place including government workers.

It looks like Leslie Stahl only investigates or reports what her network tells her to do. She doesn’t really think for herself.
The democrat party appears to only scheme ways to attract voters. Most people would like to become prosperous. The Dems have nothing to help people become prosperous in their agenda. In fact, their agenda makes people become less prosperous, always. And a lot of dem voters are OK with this. The last administration made a lot of people prosper. And yet, it was voted out of office!

What we have in Media today is: Yellow Journalism: per Google: Yellow journalism usually refers to sensationalistic or biased stories that newspapers present as objective truth.

News seemed to be more honest when “journalists” hung out in sleazy taverns instead of Georgetown cocktail parties.

I don't trust them at all. They have become nothing more than a propaganda tool for the Democrat/Communist Party. I hate their ugly faces and annoying voices. I have cancelled all print newspapers. They are just like the boy who called wolf. Too many lies.

In the matter of choices made by the media: Politics makes for strange bedfellows. There you have it, folks. It finally became ''down and dirty.'' Another maxim: You are what you eat.

"Given up on doing their job"???
No, their job, nowdays, is to pump leftist propaganda and lies, 24/7 and to make sure that anything factual that might be inconvenient for leftists is NEVER discussed.

FTA: "Yes, there is a tendency with so many sources of information for people to go to those places that simply reinforce what they already believe. This is why good and trustworthy journalism is so important."
Those places that "simply reinforce what they already believe" are not the news publications but the "influencers". News and politics today is a celebrity game. At the top are "names" that suggest people "trust" them. Every newscast is the nightly news with... But that's the least of it from late night TV to the office water cooler and social media politics is the #1 game afoot. Americans find themselves in a 24/7 echo chamber of their choosing.
Remember when Hannity was the hot oracle around here, or BOR...not so much anymore. Their schtick lost its appeal to a significant audience segment.
While Musk is "fixing" Twitter, he really needs to buy a legacy media outlet to create content. If Newsweek once sold for a dollar, he can afford one to restore quality journalism. Seems no other "conservative" billionaire is interested.

It really doesn't matter...because WE the people know that it's fake news and tune it off...Greg Kelly had a clip of George snuffleupagus grilling a republican house member over and over and over about what he thought about President Trump...he was looking for the "proper" answer and the congressman wasn't saying what Georgie boy wanted...so obvious...it's all part of the "Get Trump "...cocktail party bunch...and it means nothing to real Americans...WE now know the truth...thanks to Elon Musk...hope he hired some more security...he's a crooked Hillary target now...

A good name for the core value of our news media is the name of the principle news source of the USSR: Pravda. They revere "truth" every bit as much as the Soviets did.
