The whole job of modern journalists, of any kind, revolves around telling you what you're supposed to think and feel. So, yes, gaming journalism always sucked.

Journalism always sucked. In the past refered to it as propaganda.
But people are inherently dumb and ininvolved with most events around them. Thus the media ends up being the prime informer for them and many buy into it.
I used to read a PC game mag called PCPOWERPLAY here in Australia. They were pretty good but you could always tell when they were shilling something in the lead up to a release, after the release they'd let loose with how they actually felt about it. Havent read it in years but last I heard one of the editors for the website was against gamergate. Not sure how they are now.
