I find that it has become increasingly difficult to find well-written, researched, and plain/uninfluenced journalism, and PBS/NPR are usually my go-to's. However, there are many that I know who will refuse to pay attention to either due to bad press about 'bias', or a sense that only the elderly, hipsters, and sleep centers tune in. Do you think that there may be a watershed point where "corporate" news outlets shake off their sleepy doldrums, shy away from ideological pandering, and stop talking to leaders like children and get to a point where they aren't afraid of 'burning' sources?

Obligatory follow-up: Can those types of outlets really recieve and be influenced by tangible consequences when they largely opperate under the auspices of very wealthy oragnizations who can afford to take financial hits? It seems like those outlets who produce more reliable stories and journalism are the ones who are more in danger of resource evaporation.
