Maybe people are tired of pundits having their opinions presented as facts. It started with 24 hour news stations and now it’s everywhere.

Not surprising given the type of “news” coverage they publish. Headlines featuring clickbait rather than facts, opinions of the “journalist” rather than facts and supporting data, etc.

Perhaps, when I read "the papers" we could skip the 26 articles of opinion ans takes and just read ... the news factually reported.

That’s the only way to keep your mental health. When everything is reported as critical or dire, it gets wearying. You can only live in the, “Oh, no! What could be worse?” scenario so long.

“Dwindling public interest”
Translation: Over-crisised, anxiety-riddled public scales back news consumption to reduce threat of mental & physical health collapse.

The media hung themselves with their biased reviews of current events. Not only did anchors demonize others they also got caught up in it falling to demise due to woke culture they enabled. Karma playing out
