Along with the general decline of literacy and brain-decaying textspeak, there has also been a terrifying
drop in journalistic standards. Competition from social media and Internet news has resulted in a general dumbing-down (and devaluation) of news reporting. As traditional media lose advertising revenue, they resort to cutting costs and cutting corners. Sub-editors have been edited out of existence so there is no-one left to check copy before it is published. These days the reporter (‘journalist’ is a big word here) covers the story, writes it into the computer, ‘edits’ it, ‘prints’ it. The entire chain of quality control has been eliminated. On top of that, the mainly young reporters doing all this are treated like battery hens made to churn out more for less, and they have been disgorged from a deteriorating educational system with no knowledge of either history or spelling, so they pass their ignorance on to whoever still reads their crap. But hey, they are cheaper to employ than real journalists.
It should be noted that the above applies mainly to mass media that have been taken over by corporate octopi that have no tradition or love of quality journalism. Like craft breweries, many excellent small media sites are popping up that are maintained by real journalists who actually care about their profession. These need to be cherished and protected.

Sometimes I use big words I don't always fully understand in an effort to make myself sound more photosynthesis.
