The reason why they don't care about whatever you think about the state of journalism is because it allows them to play you directly like a cheap fiddle, without the risk of any pesky journalists getting in the way.

QED.

The state of journalism may suck, but this airheaded attitude suggests it's merely trying to follow it's intended audience and failing.

People this shallow are not going to be reached with quality journalism, so please stop blaming others for your own shallowness and disinterest.

The "political process" isn't the media or the current crop of political parties, it's you. You switch off, it's 100% your problem.

Don't blame others for your own contribution to turning it into shallow entertainment.
