Unlike a professor who would reject a student’s unsubstantiated claims, a for-profit entity won’t care about evidence unless its absence hurts profits. And you can say that about nearly any commercial news or journalistic organization. Establishing an equitable and high standard of education is the only true way to combat this, and that’s not happening in our lifetime

Oops. Once again I’ve started an argument about a mundane detail that is quite inconsequential to anything. I’m sorry. I can’t stop doing that. It’s OK. I don’t need you to agree with me that journalistic standards were higher 40 years ago than they are today. Nobody cares. I hope you have a good rest of your day.
