What's funny about people who think the best journalistic outlets in the country are terrible is that Fox News, Joe Rogan, or whatever shitty sources you use for news/commentary rely on facts gathered by journalists at NYT/WaPo/Axios/etc.
I just went to WaPo to see what's on the front page for kicks.
Let's see how much propaganda, lies, or deliberately misleading headlines there are?
I can spot 3, maybe 4 right away:
-Propaganda regarding Russia and Ukraine (anyone who seriously follows the conflict knows that the aggressor is Ukraine, not Russia)
-Feigned outrage over some guy about some powerpoint having to do with the election and Jan. 6th
-Some anti-vaxxer groups inadvertently getting funded through Amazon (who cares?)
-Fearmongering over Omicron (newsflash, it's less deadly than other variants)
Yep, a nice collection of your typical nonsense. The fearmongering over Russia and Ukraine is especially misleading, given that it is a conflict which was instigated jointly by the US and Ukraine and Russia has no plans to actually invade, which is a fairytale invented by Washington to push warmongering propaganda.
Anybody who reads these garbage sites is naturally going to have a very distorted view of reality.
