They started reporting badly in the 90s (Fox News), if not decades or centuries before that. It is on the consumers to consume better media. The companies that failed won’t fix themselves, ever.
Mainstream media's face when Trump dies of a hamburger heart attack and they have to go back to reporting like they used to.

Until consumers are willing to pay by the article there will be no better media to consume.

There already is a ton of great media out there, but many people are not looking for it. If you’re trapped by the US news cycle, start reading international news. It doesn’t solve all the problems but it solves many of them.
And more to the point, consumers have been willing to pay for subscriptions to newspapers for decades, and they’ve gotten burned by it. You’re saying that money is the answer, but it didn’t work before. It’s not working now.

America will collapse before the media goes back. We’ve reached the singularity

Oh you sweet summer child.
Media hysteria has been ramping up for decades.
Also, you really haven’t been paying attention to how divisive musk has become have you?

They will never go back. They will find a new divisive topic to foment rage with. Then seed a new reactionary candidate. When they win they will act as if they weren’t planning it all along.

It looks a bit like a Lebatt, but that’s probably not right.

Not a Labatt

Don’t threaten me with a good time.

That does even make sense. A face is a full on situation. Right…
