The existence of this story and any flaws that may or may not exist in it do not represent the state of journalism as a whole.

Actually they do; this kind of click-bait yellow journalism has become the norm, not the exception. From Breitbart to Huffington Post, they all do it.

Neither Beritbart nor Huffington post are particularly reputable journalistic outlets, they're both at the extremes of the political spectrum. My point is that you can't condemn the entire discipline of journalism based on a single story.

There are thousands of examples with similar style across the "mainstream" media. At what point can we judge the state of journalism as a whole?
