These are the same sites that platform the doom-mongers warning us of the dangers of "disinformation" and appealing for censorship. The viewers may merely be victims of the propaganda. Those disseminating the propaganda should be held to a higher standard.

There is this establishment push to push news down our throats as people turn off their outlets.

Like algorithmic feeds in general. And e.g. the Windows startmenu and what not.

Tradionally people chose what news publishers to follow. Like, it was one newspaper that you liked politically or journalisticly.

News used to be opt-in and you chose your affiliation. The angle of the publisher was known.

Nowadays it is a joke. A washed out joke. You need to go for the more radical political papers to get what most papers used to be in the 90s.
