I think pomo is responsible, along with a handful of other factors: clickbait journalism, dramatically increased echo chamber of journalists due to social media, and (perhaps most importantly), the changing values of Millenials. Regarding the latter, it's only when Millenials started moving up the career ladder at these organizations in the early 2010s that we saw the publications really change. And the insider reports from the NYTimes indicate the change in reporting is basically an outcome of generational conflict. Obviously, many on here are the exception, but in general, younger GenX, Millenials, and Zoomers were all financially screwed over, and they've (perhaps understandably) taken out their rage on society. Why so many have adopted a race-based identitarian outlook, instead of aiming for race-blind equality, I understand much less.
