Isn't that a description of traditional media?

Doesn't seem this is a fundamental change that caused the current divide. It's something deeper.

Traditional media would not be flooded with extreme right or extreme left, or conspiracy theories without any evidence backing.

The current Turner/Murdoch media in the US is definitely not my understanding of 'traditional' journalism of the likes of Associated Press, Agence France-Presse, Reuters.

Turner/Murdoch is traditional journalism though. I see no reason why these wouldn't exist today even without the internet.
