When the newspaper was the only way to get current information at all, the journalistic integrity of the MSM mattered a lot more. But now, they know they can put whatever sensationalist, reality-bubble spin they want on any event, and face 0 consequences while driving tons of page views. So unfortunately I'd expect this to continue and probably intensify.
