They can't handle opposing or alternate viewpoints, likely because of their strong sense of entitlement and lack of maturity. They're good at running with raw information, even when it's wrong, and they're good at sharing what they think is information. But they can't separate the good from the bad. Today's faulty young journos are getting opportunities they don't deserve because newspapers have bad hiring standards. The future will suffer because of this.
