Sad and damaging to our process. “Low information voter” going to be a growing demographic, not just on the right. Professional journalism is an integral part of getting information, and it’s fading away like a yellowing newspaper.

Professionalism is rather unprofitable is the problem. People turn in or log on for the headlines and drama, and professionalism mostly means making sure those headlines are grounded in reality and explaining complicated issues. Neither of those things will normally draw large amounts of readers.
