I think it’s more than just click baits. Many Journalists have essentially become “activists”, you can see their Twitter feed and it would basically make you question whether they are some party affiliate or journalists. So in stead of telling the news as is, they would add their own twists bringing in partisan commentators. Essentially news has become so opinionated, on a given topic depending on who is covering it you would get an entirely different picture.
That has nothing to do with click bait and more to do with keeping loyal user base inflamed and plugged in. That’s why NYT doesn’t even bother how 50% of the country would feel when they blatantly call the worst pandemic in century “red COVID”. Or when Fox News cheers at the sitting presidents inability to answer a question without completely losing the thread as if it is a win for the side they are in. Real loser is the American people as always.
