Money. YouTube revenue is via advertising, they want to keep your eyeballs on their videos. They probably have search/google history of you going to CNN or something and then present suggested videos from "there". They don't care what the content is, just that you are watching ads before the videos and stay on their site. You can probably read faster than watching a video stream. Go to places like BBC news to get a feel for what is happening on our planet. Or buy a major city newspaper and read it. Video hardly will have the depth of a properly written piece of journalism. If you think major papers are biased, read a few different ones about the same topic to get a sense of what you think is going on. A lot of the bias in TV news is what stories they decide to run or not run, not necessarily the 30-60 second content.
