I can assure you journalists don't believe this either. Journalism, left leaning or right leaning or centerist, isn't about reporting things that matter It's about making money. What's going to be the most profitable to them in the short term and what's going to be more profitable to them in the long term.
None of those other things you listed will make them money. Just like the fact they are failing to report that fully documented immigrants are being picked up by immigration thrown into detention centers and being coerced into signing voluntary deportation papers.
I read a story by a largely liberal news outlet about Democrat Congress people going to review one of these immigration detention centers. They were reviewing it because of the poor conditions but even in that article they mentioned that these were undocumented immigrants that were going to be deported because they lacked proper documentation. I'm sure some are but the fact of the matter is there is a huge number of correctly documented immigrants that have also been swept up thrown into these detention centers and no one is talking about it. It doesn't make for good news, it doesn't make for profitable news.

- elmerfud 1y agoThe answer is simple and I explain why in my first paragraph. They're not interested in the news that informs people they are interested in what is going to sell and what is going to keep eyeballs looking at what they have to offer. They are no different than the top only fans creators that are doing stuff just for attention.
