Your examination of the media is astute.
Part if the problem is businesses wanted more tabloid journalism because they wanted to make money. The real journalists fought it but apparently lost, or gave up, or did something else. Now that all news is essentially tabloid, they're not distinct enough to not be aggregated.
I mean with Trump, it's even happening to the papers that have good journalism. They've all turned to Chicken Little and the sky is falling. I mean I can go anywhere to read about the part where Trump said something stupid. I want them to analyze everything he said.
The newspapers were one of the latter industries affected by globalization and disruption. Had they been one of the first, and complained when globalization and automation was in it's infancy, a lot of people wouldn't have embraced it so and the wealth gap would be a lot smaller. Who knows?
