TV / Radio news is little better than entertainment.
The trouble the news industry is having is that you can get an equal amount of information from social media without all the holier-than-thou garbage coming from news anchors.

Not really a replacement for quality journalism.
The trouble (in my opinion) is that major networks don't really offer much in the way of "quality journalists."
They've mostly devolved into getting hot takes from pundits and "rah rah our team is great".
I listen to (and donate to) NPR (Iowa Public Radio specifically) because I think they are about as good as you can get for "quality journalism", but even their work devolves into garbage as soon as politics or culture come into play.
It probably doesn't help that a few years ago they redid their program structure to focus less on news and more on "think pieces" [1]
