... because it is not only the British journalism, but it has become an international epidemic that has degraded serious journalism. I also see it taking over to regular documentary films on nature, and wildlife, for example, where music and silly texts imply a certain predefined way to look at things, and make drama of pictures that originally where meant as documentary only, but now are used for pure and often fictional entertainment. i must say that especially many scientifiy films of the past five years made by the once very well-doing BBC suffer from this, but others as well. Good picture material - but very bad, ideologically influenced processing of the material. I do not watch BBC docus anymore, they are too manipulative for me. . It all tries to give the impression that there are no more questions to be asked. This obesession to feel well and easy and not needing to qwortk yourself for the answers has become a widespread disease. And it costs you the ability to thinik independently, and damages your intellectual creativity as well.

Quality of German TV and paper journalism also is in free fall since many years. And one must not even mentionAamerican media, especially TV. Usually it is said that the greater diversity of available info sources via the internet would compensate for the lacking quality of the single given source. since a while, I more and more start to doubt this. If too many of all these diverse sources are of bad quality - how could you get anything different from that than just a much greater heap of bad quality...?
