This, and reading through many of the comments on this thread, remind me of Politico's excellent article (from 2017) on the subject of how media evolved into what it was then (and what it is today). Until I read this article I did not understand how we got here.
I won't spoil it. It is well worth reading. I'll just say that I firmly believe in the protections afforded to the press by the US constitution. I also believe those who penned these protections never intended for them to be used and abused as they have been for years.
