I don't know... if one of these people is being paid to go through the motions of being a journalist, in spite of having a debilitating case of TDS, they may very well still be a journalist.
Does it really matter though? The sheeple aren't bright enough to be able to distinguish opinion reporters from actual journalists anyway (well, the few actual journalists that remain.)
I think it's perhaps safer to say that journalism is dead, in this country at least.
