Major papers and news periodicals have failed to maintain readers/subscribers. McClatchy declared bankruptcy just last week. Hayward opines on the decline of objective journalism:

"The most obvious velleities of the major mainstream media today are, first, a hatred of Fox News, and second, a primal scream at the fact that over the last 25 years old fashioned print and broadcast media have shrunk more than coal mining."

"Journalists became puffed up celebrities, often part of the story themselves (Exhibit 1: CNN’s Jim Acosta), believing that they have specialized professional expertise on part with the specialized training of a lawyer or doctor."

"Journalism was better back in the old days when it was a working class occupation open to anyone who could write cogent sentences. There was more “diversity” in newsrooms then, and less ego-puffery. The idea that you need to have a professional degree from a prestige university in order to have the stature to “question government officials and other institutional authority figures” is absurd."
