Isn't the problem simply that democrat-leaning media have fallen prey to partisan division , as a reaction to the same thing happening to republican-leaning media? Media on the right are protecting themselves by creating a bubble around their audience, and the other side responds by doing the same?

EDIT: replaced left and right with democrat/republican.

This article doesn't seems to describe any sort of "left-wing bubble" to me, but rather in dealing between politicians and news sources. Coupled with sexual harassment.

I don't think this article draws a picture of a news org that will do anything to defend their party, but rather a news org that will do anything for power. Which it then uses to reward the loyalists. It will gladly play into trump if he gives good ratings, just like it will happily shit on trump if there's ratings in that. It'll create conflicts of interest when it asks a journalist to interview his own brother, as long as there's ratings in it. It'll even cover for sexual misconduct, if the abusers are loyal and produce ratings.

Basically, there's no political party in this story. Only power hungry amoral people.

CNN has you thinking of left wing media?

Well the problem is indeed that conservatives would definitely think of CNN as left, or liberal, even if CNN should not or is not thinking of itself that way. The behavior at CNN is reminiscent of Sean Hannity on Fox during the insurrection, i.e., both media's are trying to support their respective favorite politician. I'm not trying to justify it, but I think it's more driven by bi-partisan divide and loyalty to a particular politician, than it is by a hunger for ratings.
