It's the same if you read the Guardian. It's clear that the apparent europhilia of some liberal media was nothing but a political play. They pretended to support Europe only because their rivals, the Tory-supporting media, were against it.

Or pretended to be. None of those people believe anything at all.

or perhaps they are jointly shocked to see the EU behave in this way and are providing opinion on this one issue rather than sticking to a predetermined side?

"Genuinely" shocked, you mean? I'm speaking of a more general trend I've observed, not connected to the AstraZeneca fiasco. It's difficult to give examples, but to my mind and given my prior experience with Guardian articles, it seems to me that there's a clear de-escalation of partisanship in EU-related news.
