Not spreading misinformation, verifying facts before broadcasting rumors. No good is served other than ad dollars by not waiting for evidence or not publishing a story that can't be verified yet

I mean it's never going backwards, but it is also anarchy to a large extent until social media companies make stricter rules but then people leave for the next new one where they can say anything they want with reckless abandon be it true or nowhere near it.

Gate-keeping served a purpose once upon a time, but it's gone now. People can still choose to look for credible press and they are out there, but it takes time and usually a subscription charge when all the lies and misinformation you can ever want is out there for free in seconds because it's all made up and a real news piece takes time and effort to be sure it is correct and accurate and fair.
