Newspapers & other media insistently & usually patronizingly telling us things we already know or can work out for ourselves on the basis this information is "good for us"
Mary snorted in disgust at the newspaper article on the correlation between smoking & lung cancer, drinking & cirrhosis of the liver & excess calorie consumption & weight gain. She hated this kind of broccoli journalism.
Mary decided this was a good time to have a cigarette, a chocolate bar & a glass of wine.

When journalists simply repeat whatever politicians say, word for word, similar to a stenographer typing out a transcript word for word. This is similar to fake news. Stenography journalists repeat politicians' lies without any attempt at fact-checking, calling out the lies, analysis or critical thinking about what was said. Stenography journalism allows politicians to lie, and have their lies spread to a wide audience. The lies are consequently taken to be facts by many members of the public.
"62% of teachers in this district couldn't pass a basic literacy test last year," said the senator. This was completely false, but the stenography journalism of the local news website used the senator's assertion as the headline without fact-checking it.
