2. Not really. What you have nowadays are editors without news judgment.

These days, editors are beholden to printing anything rather than using news judgment and not publishing them. I think Fox and the RW media has scared everyone with their frequent accusations of bias. News judgment is not bias.

As for profit, it's always been a factor. But it really has no more influence now as it did decades ago. The problem is with the editors who have no judgment and who feel that EVERY insignificant factor deserves a story. It doesn't. But important issues have also been ignored. There just isn't the depth with journalism that there used to be.
