You might look into a completely a-political media outlets, like Discovery Channel on TV, or Tom's Hardware on the net. Is it a complete and utter crap compared to what it was 10-20 years ago? Absolutely. Was there any "government-corporate-media complex" involved in running them to the ground? Absolutely not. It's just that the "aliens at Nazis' service"/"best LED mice for gaming" — respectively — somehow generate more revenue (in TV/Google Ads sales) than the content these outlets ran in the past.
