Most news outlets nowadays are the equivalent of Buzzfeed. They do whatever get them clicks. Journalism is optional. And so is any sense of ethics
If their customers don’t punish them by withholding their money/support, their rich owners are definitely not going to push for a change. You saw how the main tech giants bent their knees at Trump’s inauguration

Eh. You call it cynicism, I call it realism. To each their own
