The discussion should be about the definition of journalism, period.  Far too frequently the material being presented as journalism simply isn't, the public knows it, and has discredited journalists as a harsh consequence.  The Trump campaign is clearly the tipping point to what has being going on for years ( Justin got elected with such assistance )  and the profession may not recover. Start with cleaning house at journalism schools and ridding ourselves of the gang of liberal progressive ideologues who, as professors, feel it is their mission to imbed their graduating students into the media to bring about a world of their choosing.  Separate journalists and media from legislators the same way the courts are and you will have much less propaganda coming from state-run outlets such as the CBC.  My first sense is to distrust anything from even the G&M,  and I know many who have a similar outlook.
