That's because we've become a society that gets its "information" from social media. Conventional news outlets are trying to compete by churning out clickbait and sensationalism, which is why Bash demeaned Kamala Harris by trying to make her stoop to responding to Trump's ugly rants.

They are failing miserably.

I don’t disagree, but MSM journalists are supposed to ethics and standards; apparently, they don’t…:)

The Fairness Doctrine was partly responsible for that. Professionalism was the other foundational piece that no longer exists. It went away as media focused across-the-board on entertainment. No fairness. No professionalism. Valueless, like Trump, it's just another tool.

Infotainment. One very good thing about Kamala Harris' delay in giving interviews is that she was not subjected to gossipy questions like when Dana Bash asked her what she thought about Trump's racist remarks about her. This is a historical campaign; never in US history has a woman of color been so close to winning the presidency. But instead of showing Harris respect, she's treated like she's Stormy Daniels. Let's not talk about issues, Let's get some gossip shit to offer as clickbait instead.
