The news is catering to people's appreciation of the change from the Trump era. We'll get bored with it after a while, and they'll have to spice things up. I think it's very difficult to figure out where we go from here, though. American mainstream media has always aspired to be nonpartisan in the sense of being politically inclusive, a common ground where people come to get not only facts but also a sense for the range of reasonable opinion about the issues of the day. How can you give a sense for the breadth of opinion in a country that contains congressional districts that elected both Marjorie Taylor Greene and AOC? (To be clear, I don't mean to denigrate AOC by mentioning her in the same breath as Greene.) How can you maintain journalistic integrity and also present opinions that can only be explained by repeating a litany of known falsehoods? I think it will require a new approach from staid old-school media outlets that tend to make everything sound blandly reasonable unless they are actively denouncing it. That approach won't last, because it's tiring to read the same outrage time after time. Soviet press could get away with it because they had a monopoly, but American newspapers won't keep doing something that wears on readers. They need to figure out a way to inform readers of the full range of beliefs of Americans without making them all sound reasonable, and at the same time without endlessly resorting to outrage.
