Attention is the currency of media. Sensationalism is the fuel. American news is a business first and a service second. Long gone are the days when there were legally binding rules for fairness and honesty in order to retain your license and maintain your business. Long gone are the days when the public owned its airwaves and the businesses that were granted their access were required to produce honest news in order to maintain their licenses. You can thank Reagan and Clinton for these changes and of course, the fleecing of American by Congress over the last 30+ years. (Insert Boomers suck comment here) The PBS Newshour is the only televised news that is fact based and still run with integrity. If you're going to watch the news, watch PBS.
