Maybe it's just my perspective due to growing older but I've perceived the quality of VRT to go down really hard. Most articles or emissions seem like they're just rehashed Reuter's material. No critical notes, barely any links to the source material or real insight/explanation/history of the subject.
Indeed, and sometimes they have gone a bit sensationalist and clickbaity... which is a pity because a good quality public media is very necessary. I think it has to do too with VRT being underfunded...
Take into account who is on the board, which is the N-VA, with all the cuts and they more preferring the commercial VTM station. The VRT had the reputation of being left wing in the past, but weird thing: truth is mostly left leaning.
Another example of today...
