They tout themselves as reporting the news but where is the actual journalism?

All the so-called news is really commentary on stories produced by other reporters and media outlets. Have they done any actual original reporting? Haven't seen a single story they came up with on their own.

National Review is mostly an opinion website but at least I get original reporting from Jim Geraghty.

They are basically like a network doing reaction videos on youtube with network style production. I will watch some of them because they can be "critical" to both sides on some issues.

I try to watch things that are critical of the right as to not fall into an echo chamber. Besides, its always good to see what/how the left thinks on things.

I believe Ryan Grim works there. He may be considered a reporter since he reports in the Intercept.

News is dead. We only have editorial now - across the board.

Greenwald usually re-tweets something of value from Krystal/Saagar or Grim about once a month. They seem relatively fair and not too deranged.

Both Saager and Crystal will go off on Democrats and Republicans when they think they have done something stupid.

They were better before Krystal married Kyle. She was based when she first started the show.

Journalism doesn’t exist anymore, it’s just editorialism.
