    No, that’s not what journalism is. That’s a talking platform. Journalism’s main goal is to inform the public, not pass on talking points.

    Journalism is when a politician says “we will wait for an international court to label the crimes in Palestine as genocide because that is precedent” when it really hasn’t been a precedent and it’s very easily searchable (like Canada recognizing the Uyghur genocide), basic journalism is pointing out that discrepancy. No investigation needed, no opinion, purely informative.

    Otherwise, it’s a megaphone outlet for talking heads.
