However the downside of all of this is that the definition of worthy news turns out to be "non-events" Journalists publishes these non events as news events, headlines, etc. With 24/7 news to fill ingenuity is required in stringing out the story to fill airtime.
As an example. some celebrity tweets. The news people immediately label it as inappropriate or an epiphany depending on their view of the celebrity.
The story would die there but for the follow up such as Why didn't the celebrity apologize?
He did apologize but was it quick enough?
he shouldn't have apologized?
What does x have to say about the celebrity's tweet?
And was celerity y offended ?
And did director z condemn then tweet?
Its the same with all of the sexual harassment charges. We have billions of people in the world engaged in sex and dominating the news are allegations of......
What happened to issues of substance taxes, foreign policy, economy
It would seem too many of these so called journalist graduated from the Kardashian School of Journalism
We all ought to be appalled because this once great nation is descending quickly into mediocrity and of its own choosing

You reveal in one post the kind of media that you spend your time reading or watching and what is important to you.
In the age of Trump, journalism is vital, as it always has been and always will for our democracy.
There will always be people like you who are fascinated with the Kardashian stories but anyone interested in our democracy recognizes the importance of staying abreast of news, AND importantly in today's age the investigative journalism.
Without investigative journalism, Mike Flynn would still be the chief adviser to the White House, even though he cannot even pass a normal screening for a clearance and appears to be a traitor to his country.
Democracy needs journalism and we have good ones.
You and the Russian point of view about ridiculing reporting you do not care for because it is anti your point of view, and it protects our democracy.
The media does a great job, and I say that even though it is a crucial part of this administration and its followers, such as you, to demean the free press, ridicule it and try to shut down truth so the only message is the one you wish to get out there.
