The quality and Quantity of journalists has fallen off a cliff over the past 30 years. In 1990's there were 500,000 journalists, now we have around 100,000. Investigative journalism, where you get a crew of people and fly them across the world, and conduct first-hand research, is basically gone.

It is surprising to me that this is not common knowledge and we have people disputing a basic fact.
