I was considering writing on a similar topic and am relieved that I needn't bother; I don't think anyone could surpass this essay on the shortcomings and compromises of "journalists" and formerly reputable entities in this election cycle. This is his opening sentence:
If you want a laugh, go watch the Election Focus Group they ran on 60 Minutes last night. Frank Luntz said he has been doing these for 30 years and has never seen anywhere near this level of anger and disillusionment.
