The distinction is about business models and cost of doing business. When your costs are high and you are owned by a mega corp, there is a high probability that some of your stories are compromised. This is pretty obvious to anyone who is paying attention and has been since at least Bush 2 and probably earlier.

That's a distinction between corporate new media and independent new media, not new and old.

And plenty of independent new media has been compromised by political and ideological interests.

Plenty of old media too.

Yeah, they're all the same thing in many ways now. The internet is as mainstream as any other communications platform, decades old, but people still pretend like no one older than 20 gets it.
