    This election season has been a test for journalism, and it failed miserably.

      Oh buddy. During 2016 election The New York Times published thousands of stories about Clinton email/Benghazi, not one on Trumps lifelong ties to NY/Russian mob. As if The New York Times, THE PAPER OF RECORD, wasn’t in a particularly knowledgeable position to report on 70 years of NYC construction & mob history.

      Mainstream Journalism already failed the internet test, it wasn’t magically going to come back for 1 election cycle.
