And why should anyone be surprised at this?

The press no longer exists to deliver "the news". They are telling a story. Not necessarily the story, but it is certainly a story. Least common denominator pablum designed for engagement and not edification.

Actually it's always been that way; they just really don't even bother trying to disguise it or pretend any more :p
