For me, the biggest problem is that news media is allowed to control the narrative by injecting bias into the coverage. We all know language choice has a strong power to manipulate and shift people's perspectives on what needs to be raw facts.

Everything is a crisis, everything is a Watergate, everything is leading up to WW3.

In a journalism course I took at university, the "hello world" assignment is to write an article without bias. They teach journalists that writing emotionally was considered amateur and unprofessional. This is basic stuff that all these hundreds of thousands of professionals know on day one.

Yet, here we are, we're now in a world where the more bias you can inject into the news, the better the ratings, and the deeper the divide goes.
