I had this realization over 10 years ago when I was tasked with building a system that would retrieve news articles from news websites, parse them, and do keyword analysis to track for pathogenic and other biological and medical trends. There is very very little journalism in news. Most is AP reference and written for grade school. Back then, outlets like Xinhau were really bad at making believable propaganda but they also werent promoting AP rubbish, and as such could still produce useful signal. News24 was one of the most objective sources. The only thing worth reading news wise in the US is local level small town papers. The cities are just left opinion pieces, AP shit, or filler of old topical non-news based articles.
