To me it feels like every outlet is also more about persuasion than news. Its subtly (or not so much at times) bringing its viewers into increasingly dividing modes of thought. And at times i bet purposely avoiding stories that inconveniently contrast to their leanings. A subset of the population picks up on this, and loses trust in whats being reported. There is also some bit of resentment to the media, because sometimes they act in a way that says “we know whats best for you, so we wont give you all the information to all angles of this story”
