If the motives haven't changed but the packaging has, this is because they've gotten better at figuring out what motivates the public. Therefore, it's the public that's the problem. They're just the dealers, giving the junkies what they want. The problem that you've addressed is that they are entertainment peddlers parading as serious journalism.

The worst, worst part is that our leadership in this country uses these media outlets as serious platforms to spread their message. They give credence to this garbage.

Yes. That's basically the issue I take. They call themselves 'news organizations', when they aren't quite that.
