> we've lost Journalistic rigor, Logic, and Critical Thinking.

Take off your rose colored glasses and read your history more critically and you will realize that we never had it to begin with. Oh there were a few good journalists, some who knew logic, and sometimes people used critical thinking. However people are the same as people over all time. If anything we are slightly - just slightly better. We just remember the good parts of the olden days and forget the bad.



More accurately, that snake oil salesman could only reach the people he parked his wagon in front of. It's not the content, it's the reach.


Newspapers had a lot of reach. Look up yellow journalism...
