FWIW my personal opinion is that almost every angry anti-{journalism, media} take is boring and the people yelling the loudest have their own axes to grind and authority to capture. But ignoring the relentless evolutionary logic of it all is pretty foolish.

I mostly agree with that, after filtering out the large and growing hatred associated with people who simply disagree with the conclusions reached or issues covered, even in the context of good journalism. And that anger resonates with the "you're supposed to be better" kind.
