It started with the 24 hour news introduced with cable. In order to fill 24 hours, they started adding more fluff and opinion. Then slowly opinion started getting treated like fact. Even broadcast news favors opinion over fact now[0].

Of course bellicose vitriol is printed against the US for example, but it’s clearly not official or policy in any way. I don’t have references but this has become much more common in recent years, imo.
