It's also dilution. When there were 4 stations on TV and everyone watched televised news, a story on there got a shit ton of viewership, and there could only be a handful of news stories to pay attention to. Now there's several 24 hour news stations, all the other local stations, 100 other channels to watch besides news, streaming shows, all the news from the internet coming in at 100's a day, and shit little Facebook and YouTube algorithms that only feed people things they're likely to keep eyeballs glued on to the screen.
