brown journalism

1. journalism so biased, fallacious. filthy and full of shit that it makes mainstream journalism appear accurate and objective by comparison.

2. news so heavily biased and lacking in journalistic integrity that it actually makes yellow journalism seem white as snow.

3. News sources so absurdly base in their methods and so utterly lacking in basic standards of quality, accuracy, and objectivity that they somehow manage to make Fox news actually seem "fair and balanced" by comparison!
It may be true that modern journalism has become a hopeless mess of yellow journalism. But if you want to see a real cesspool, check out some of the alternative news sources. The Blaze, Prison Planet, Natural News, Mother Jones- these news outlets have gone farm beyond the territory of yellow journalism into what can only be called 'brown journalism'.
