This is exactly why instead of expecting the media to evolve or adapt I encourage people to walk away from corporate news.
I'm not a zealot, so follow it if you like, just know that it has its own goals and one of them is to hook you on its crappy product and convince you that it is the sole arbiter of truth...when it's really stuffing its billionaire-sponsored narratives down your throat.
The reality is that if the news were in any way objective and about "the truth", it would steadily maintain reality-based positions over time, but it doesn't. It adapts based upon what its billionaire owners want and based upon the whims of the electorate -- all the while pretending that it does nothing to influence the whims of the electorate when it very clearly does.
