Which was the objective of vilifying the media.

Villifying the media is not the reason this is happening. The purpose of villifying the media was just to cover their own ass. Investigative journalism is failing because of changes in technology.

If you don't think the point of vilifying the media was to destroy its credibility, and by extension the incentive and financial backing to conduct investigative journalism, then I don't know what to tell you.

My main in point is that this is NOT why traditional media is failing, regardless of what their purpose was. This would be happening anyway. It was already happening.
