>an endless stream of clickbait that destroys our ability to think deeply and clearly.

Disagreed. News never changed. It was always exactly like this. The Pulitzer award was created because journalists lied and caused an assassination and the spanish war.

The thing that changed is social media is letting everyone fact check the journalists and we're catching them in their lies. We are ushering in a new era of professionalism and truth in journalism and it's not going well at all.

Here in Canada we have a funny one happening right now. Another whistleblower from the CBC was forced to involuntarily resign. Now the CBC is saying they refuse his resignation that he's a slave and must continue working for them. So his lawyer has to bring a human rights lawsuit.

>World doesn't live in echo chambers. The reality emerges from the collision of different viewpoints and perspectives - that's how we separate signal from noise.

Or at least it shouldnt be this way.

>This multi-source approach helps reveal the full picture beyond any single viewpoint.

Grabbed the RSS, thanks!

I'd say the velocity and reach of it certainly has changed. A world leader tweeting fresh insanity to millions of people every couple hours wasn't a thing during earlier eras.

You're describing social media where that's happening. Not journalism or news.

You might argue that social media == news. That's likely true, but that makes journalists the antiquated news.
