I think he is completely right. Journalism today looks more like advocacy.

Free-speech liberalism are at odds with the political establishment. The liberal camp has been decimated recently with the rise of both the authoritarian right/left.

From my perspective, what is happening in the US right now is somewhat similar to what happened in the Latin American countries in the 60s and 70s.

I'm very happy I discovered https://www.allsides.com/unbiased-balanced-news It gives me access to articles written about the same subject from both perspectives. What I think it super interesting is how journalists omit certain facts to further their point of view.

Lol at "both perspectives". As if there are only two. And no one raised hackles at alternative perspectives. They were raised at alternative facts.
