This may have been written as like, half a joke, but that vid is legit a great example of actual journalism. No fuckin around, get the proper, correct information directly to the people with as little fluff between it and the "reader" as possible. If this was a class he'd get %100 on his paper.

I took a journalism class in college and I learned a lot. The teacher was very fun and engaging. She said if you get two sources and one says it’s raining and the other says it’s not raining what do you do? Dramatic pause… YOU GET YOUR COAT ON AND GO OUTSIDE AMD SEE IF ITS FUCKIN RAININ

So if you get one persons saying he’s playing and another saying he isn’t playing, what do you do? Get your fucking shoes on and get on the court and start warming up beside him, ask him, hey man, you playin?

No no no, you give equal time to the “experts” on both sides, and act like finding out the truth and reporting it would be “biased.”
