I hope so. There are some fantastic independent news channels in my country which I feel provide unbiased news. But corporate sponsored media, even CNN, are heavily pushing an agenda which has become very obvious since corona happened.

It’s not dead, but it has been resting. It will come back in a new, and better form.
CNN was founded in 1980. That’s less than 50 years ago. There are plenty of opportunities to build new information networks.
We’re simply in a transition period.

Miss you, Rocky Mountain News.
In its last nine years of operation, it won four Pulitzer Prizes. Two in 2006.
It missed its 150 year anniversary by weeks.

"erosion of a vital way to hold power accountable"
I can even hear the wailing and gnashing of teeth from congress, the senate and other politicians. So sad.

For sure. Journalism is dead.The state, together with big corporations dictate what is truth now. No room for any critical sound in the media anymore.

Short and distort. The market maker Citadel sold 65 billion shares it did not own in 2021 and bought 0. https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1146184/000128417022000004/CDRG_BS_Only_FS_2021.pdf

Sadly, that is close to the bottom of Wall Street’s sins, severity wise. The most dangerous organized crime organization in New Yoirk isn’t the Gambino crime family, it’s Goldman Sachs.

What, you think constant brutality and dehumanization might have some negative side effects? Well, it's nothing more brutality and dehumanization won't fix.

Justin has actually since been adopted and is doing great now. As for other kids who are spending their youth behind bars, I agree. A lot of times it begins with the communities that they are raised in and the lack of resources present in those communities to thrive.

You're right, and watching him have to go live like that and to be in that situation with any child is awful. I truly hope something changes for these kids and we never ever see a child be raised in a prison system again.

The problem is that news media were relatively well funded organisations from the days of printed news media and later tv. They had muscle, so they could withstand legal repercussions from corporations or even countries who tried to silence them through lawsuits.
There are still plenty of good journalists around, and many have find ways to make a career through the internet in various ways, but if they don't have a resourceful organisation watching their back, they are much more vulnerable to being silenced or suppressed by rich and powerful entities.
