How very generic.

Look, it is incredibly easy to say "all journalist are lying"

The problem is, normally that opinion is pushed by a specific group who will benefit from those journalists being discredited.

Now, with genai getting really rather good, there isn't really much between us and fully automatic bullshit as a service. Bad twitter, reddit & bluesky are very good examples of that. There are legions of people who are convinced that x is y, because someone spend some money to spread shit.

Sure, bad journalists need to be called out, as do bad networks (doesn't help that monopolies are fucking US journalism now)

but writing everyone off, without cause? thats just gonna let the grifters win.
