In my eyes, news outlets like for example ProPublica had started to lose respect, because they still use Twitter like nothing ever happened.

Why they don’t leave like what The Guardian did or like the other news outlets?

Are they too corporate internally to leave Twitter?

    Most news outlets nowadays are the equivalent of Buzzfeed. They do whatever get them clicks. Journalism is optional. And so is any sense of ethics

    If their customers don’t punish them by withholding their money/support, their rich owners are definitely not going to push for a change. You saw how the main tech giants bent their knees at Trump’s inauguration

      OP specified nonprofit outlets. Of which there are more and more, and they don’t have the same incentives. Important not to fall into cynicism on this subject.
