Traffic arbitrage has completely screwed most newspapers. Taken another dip recently as battulip zoomers from buzzfeed are now taking on senior roles at established papers.
Paywall should reduce the tulip, but not always.

I still maintain that the best solution would be a centrist party in each country for a few years to bring back sensibile solution and talking. Swinging wildly from right to left and back is unstable in itself and stupid.

Otherwise it sounds as if you are ejaculating forthwith at the state of journalism. Mind you, this wouldn't surprise me.
Journalism hasn't worsened if you refer only to the main broadsheets. They've always had nuances, errors and inherent bias within some of their editorials. Decreased quality of education of the public and their developed inability to critically analyse such bias is the primary reason that the world appears to be more unstable. Truth is, it was always this unstable. As new sources of information emerge, however factually inaccurate they may be, it's easy to understand we just now hear more about world events, even quicker than ever once thought possible.
People have their own bias, don't recognise it, and unduly get upset when the way in which news articles are written or broadcast doesn't match their world view and bias.
If you're looking for news, I maintain that the FT remains up there with the best in the UK. Some of the articles are wealthy claptrap (see James Max' "Rich People Problems", but this is offset by the detailed explanations of world events, with evidence provided. Is it always correct? No, but nothing ever is. Good journalism is worth paying for, but people are addicted to online junk websites.Last edited by rogerfederer; 3 July 2020, 11:45.

I'm not surprised, it wasn't the police that stopped a 'peaceful' protest in their living room.

Rising civil unrest leading to people arming themselves to protect their homes? Wow.
In unrelated news, umbrella sales increase as rainy season approaches.

Supporting high quality journalism is a worthwhile endeavor. The FT stands well above the Telegraph in terms of quality business, economic and world news.

Yeah that was it - check out my FT membership boys - woah ho ho!
Who'd have thought a FT subscription would become a 'something to show off' about. Class divide n all that I suppose.

The only thing I find rather surprising and even remotely news worthy of this rubbish is the fact that the number of checks is ONLY 3.9mil with all this going on compared to 3.7mil when a global pandemic was announced. You would have thought it would have been much higher.
You could then go on to have an interesting debate that it's only 3.9 because 3.7 already have them and so on...
The news gun sales is at an all time high in itself is like, well, yeah no tulip sherlock....
