is it fair to say that the only real journalism that exists these days is on the internet since the media is? - Anti-Federalist - 05-05-2013 04:15 AM
made up of mostly propagandists?
on the internet, i mean social media, blogs and youtube channels for example. i know people love to denounce these as worthless and uncredible but ive actually gotten much more out of those than any main stream media sources.

That's still stretching it.
I find the truth somewhere in between. You'll note that DemocracyNow, Huffpo and the Atlantic wire are all on the internet.
As are WeAreChange, Veterans Today and TYT.

The internet is full of liars and propagandists far worse than on network news, in fact that's where the most ridiculous claims and conspiracy theories come from.
Examples: Ridiculous claims about Sandy Hook being "planned."

The internet is simply another venue of the media. There is no more truth on it than in any other source.

As bad as the main stream media can be, the internet can be even worse since there is absolutely no accountability nor referenced and vetted material nor are the people providing the internet information reputable or reliable.
