I completely agree. Reminds me of regulatory capture in a way. Whatever kept journalists honest, non-biased, and integrity-filled has disappeared. Is there any way to fix it?

I don't know how to fix it. I used to think Social Media was the answer; getting information from non legacy sources. Instead, it just creates deeper echo chambers and people grow further apart. Conservatives call their opponents Woke Socialists, Liberals label everyone that disagrees with them Nazis/Fascists. We need some grownups in the room.
