The Trump Election ensures the permanence of the citizen journalist

The Trump Election ensures the permanence of the citizen journalist, opinionated - fine - but no less "factual" than professional journalists. And OFTEN more factual! People have become distrustful of the established news outlets after years of being lied to, misled, and gaslighted. With the internet competing toe to toe with the legacy media, the 2024 election told the outcome. People are not going back to CNN, NBC, CBS, or ABC to be spoon fed. That ship has sailed.
