    The main problem with fake news is that many journalists care more about supporting a narrative than about describing reality. Some even believe that reality is a social construct. This makes the consensus world views very brittle and susceptible to enemy (or random!) propaganda.

        There is probably a serious sample bias in this statement. Some certainly are working in "I need you only to support my story with a soundbite"-mode (especially video formats), but I have no evidence that a majority of journalists works this way (from copious experience).

        I know many excellent journalists with a high ethos. It is difficult for me to develop an idea of where the majority of the people producing media content stand. Basically, I see lots of very crappy content production and couple dozen places that really care.

        Such intrinsic incentives have always been the case, but extrinsic incentives changed: the information (eco)system. 1. Tell what sells well 2. Share if you care More noise. Simpler signals. And so the barycentre of forces shaping discourse shift from journalism to pandering.

        You may also look from a game theoretic perspective, and many people working in journalism, or (more importantly) in structuring the conditions of journalism, are part of very short games.

        I don't get the point. Why does it make their worldviews susceptible to enemy propaganda? The ones who are actually susceptible are the ppl sharing and believing in fake news. Why should they be less susceptible if some journalist from some magazine tries to describe reality?

        Because they lack an epistemological baseline: they don't assign confidences among ALL possible models according to hard evidence (and remain agnostic about the rest). Their world view is grounded in the beliefs of others (Kegan lvl 3).

        I suspect that historically, most journalism has seen itself tasked with manufacturing a useful social reality. The apparent recent departure of journalism from investigating truth may be just the result of cost cutting for the minority of economically independent observers.
