    Can we uplift quality journalism that is also not filled with bought and paid for journalists and media.

    Sure. A good start for you would be to not rag on Common Dreams, one of the best independent outlets, for calling out those that ARE bought and paid for.

    The complaints about the media sound like boomer ramblings

    Or, you know, journalists with integrity holding corporate shills masquerading as journalists accountable…

    I seem to hear it most often from millennials

    Because we’re the first generation to become adults in a world where there are completely viable alternatives readily available, such as Common Dreams. Also, did you mean “millennials” or Gen Z? Maybe both? Because if anything, Gen Z is MORE critical of the billionaire-owned media than we are.

    Sincerely, elder millennial, 41.

    Like, who the fuck else you relying on to know what’s going on in the world

    More reliable sources, such as Common Dreams, The Nation, The Intercept, sometimes The Guardian (though how reliable they are varies subject by subject)
