I didnt say they do nothing of benefit. I use them since they're most of what we have. Your claim also doesnt counter mine in any way. Large, well-funded, independent media wouldve done the same thing if we had that instead. Further, it would be more likely as MSM continues to shift from journalism to just sharing anything that will get views. Most MSM just copies stories of relatively few journalists since that generates the most ad revenue at the lowest cost.
