Not the journalists.
It's the internet hacks who are in it to get clicks - don't have any information, lead potential readers to their sites with headline 'bait' that turns out to have nothing to do with the actual 'articles' at the site. Doesn't matter to them, the more outlandish the garbage they use the better from their perspective, they literally get paid by the click. If you click it, they are paid. Yet, people read these things and often don't even know they've been duped. These hacks are obviously not journalists. Yet they claim to be news.
Worse yet, it's the foreign government sponsored sites. They don't care about the clicks, they only care about trying to convince (in our case) US citizens that our country is in deep trouble and, blah blah blah <insert whatever thing they want us to believe here>. Even if we many aren't duped, they only need enough to be duped to create a rift. What is valuable to them, is that they want US citizens to stop trusting mainstream news. Even though the site is complete garbage, if they can get some to start to distrust- it's a win for them. They want the chaos that mistrust and arguing creates - this is the biggest problem. These people are obviously not journalists either. Yet they claim to be news.
It's a lot like some of the far left blame the cops for our social problems. The cops are NOT the problem.
Similar thing here - the far right blames the journalists for our news problems. The journalists are NOT the problem.
(And it's not a R vs D problem either. It exists across parties. It's primarily a "stop getting your news from the internet" problem.)
