traditional media is already losing the influence to be honest. Even big networks like CNN or Fox News are basically dying.

In the era of tiktok, twitter, podcasters and other services - traditional media is just too boring source of news. I would say that even the traditional search will die sooner or later.

I think CNN and especially Fox are already way too sensationalist.

I prefer a good writeup like the guardian does. Not every fart needs to be "BREAKING NEWS".

I'm sure some people crave the hollow mindless screaming of random influencers but there's still mindful people out there.

they are sensationalist because they are trying to imitate the discourse like on TikTok or Twitter - some short sentence that makes people pay attention while reading the headline. It is like "click on us!!!"

And it is getting worse because media has to compete with online media.

For sure, there are event podcasts with cool and calm discourse too. There are options.
