          Well yeah, the internet made anyone who wants to be a journalist capable of being a “journalist” so of course quality goes down. Both the Internet killed journalism and journalists are crap at writing are true, the latter because of the former.

              Those two things aren’t even remotely the same. Comparing them makes zero sense. One is a light weight investigator delivering updates on happenings in the world, the other is a creator of fictional stories for entertainment.

                  You claimed journalists became journalists because they couldn’t hack it. Which is obvious nonsense given the fact that there are university courses for journalism. Meaning people intend to become journalists.

                  I get it. It’s hot to be anti-“the media” right now, but your claims are just reading like a zealot ranting.
