That was the point I tried to make in my subject line.
Bullshit is bad journalism. But journalism that contains an opinion you don't like or agree with doesn't make it bad. Nor is popular journalism good by virtue of its popularity. There is some great journalism in the New Yorker for example, but it tends to be very long, worthy and so detailed as to verge on being dull, certainly for those with a short attention span. But no aggregate algorithm essentially designed to get clicks is ever going to feature that. And that's all the Internet really wants: clicks
