It's very disheartening. Almost every news source has become like this. (Or maybe it was this way for a long time and I never really noticed? Who knows.)
I know inflammatory editorial injections into headlines and articles can increase the amount of clicks and ad revenue, but I wonder how much of this is a marketing tactic and how much is a genuine shift towards heightened polarization among newspaper staff.

I think it's increasingly polarization and a desire to be a participant in the story. The media doesn't just want to report the story. They want to manipulate stories into something they can milk for weeks and months.
