Media plays both sides of the coin because they don't care about what happens to other media sources, they care about the ad revenue from clicks to their site. Playing both sides of the coin only increases clicks since both perspectives are engaged.

Or enough of the legacy media sees the clicks as a zero-sum game, and seeks to strangle the competition before it gets too powerful.
