I feel like news itself is dying. Serious, investigative journalism is being replaced by yellow journalism and opinion columns. Sober second thought has given way to sensationalism and identitarianism. This has happened because people don’t subscribe to one source of news anymore. Click bait rules the day.

That's how "news" started. We had a brief period where a significant portion of writers wanted to be balanced enough to be "neutral" to appeal to a wider audience (probably for higher ad revenue) but realistically that didn't last long after Watergate. After that, every reporter wanted to change the world.. which means put forth the agenda they believe in. We've simply come full circle.
