Is Journalism a Joke now?
Lately I have read a lot of journalism that reports on very illogical and unscientific things, but presents it as truth.
There was an article about how women are better than men at everything, and put in Times magazine. No proof, no evidence, just well orchestrated words. Replace everthing it stated with race or with "man" and all of a sudden it would have been bashed, and they would have never put that in the magazine at all.
So now I jave very little respect for journalism.
Thoughts?

Lately?
Even proof and evidence can (and has) be made up. There's no reason to believe that this is a recent thing. People knew how to brainwash masses into believing lies since the beginning of time.
Journalism is no longer about spreading the news or ideas. It is about shaping the opinions and views of the population.
I wouldn't call it a joke though, because it's not funny. It's actually a very worrying trend.
Often.
Don't read it then!
