This is exactly what happened with the gaming media too. More and more political commentary, often biased heavily towards one side of the political spectrum and somewhat disdainful towards their customers. Then again, I hear it's happened in many specialist fields recently, like entertainment journalism (music, TV, literature), sports journalism, etc. Constant political focus, agenda pushing, a general detachment from their audience. And in every case, it's caused the publication to lose readers/subscribers because they don't want this political stuff. Suspect it's caused the growth of a fair few online publications too. Not everything has to be a soapbox for political commentary.
