This is a subject i find very interesting.
I know, a Netflix celeb, but I think he hits the nail on the head here. And while obviously biased these comedian's turned pundits like Hassan, John Oliver and Samantha Bee tend to do better fact checking, and better in depth reporting on certain issues than some(most?) major media outlets, both sides of the political spectrum. This segement discusses the big reasons why faith and trust in media is disappearing and why media is becoming more polarized in the mainstream. I'm Canadian full disclosure, and I fear the same thing is happening here.
Slightly different topic discusses the polarization of politics in general due to the American voting system, but this also plays a major role in media behaviour as well.
