Seriously, I have a postgrad in journalism, and the sheer lack of professionalism, sensationalist clickbait, deliberate misinterpretation and fact twisting that goes on in video game journalism is simply unbelievable.
I mean, I came to terms with it being pathetic years ago, but it still continues to surprise me at just how low it can sink. The bar just keeps getting lower asnd lower with each passing month.
Fundamental journalistic values like objectivity and accuracy don't even seem to be on the radar, much less a priority. It's one thing to not check your facts and spew it across every corner of the globe via the internet, but it's another thing entirely to deliberately, knowingly propagate misinformation.
It's bog standard tripe that just about any other industry would be ashamed of.
