Tabloidisation.
The mainstream media has become sensational to get shares/retweets and the like. By becoming dramatic they get attention, people watch ads or subscribe, they stay in funds. While sensible journalism is no longer very profitable. The tabloidisation of the news media has made it so the hack writer is the norm, and yellow all journalism has become. Even the best news sources, or those known for their excellence, have sold out much of their enterprise to court retweets. They use provocative titles to get shares and get their articles posted to fringe political groups and forums. And, far from many are willing to admit, this is not anywhere near to just right-wing problem.
