This thread sparked a conversation with my dad, he's been on the tech side of TV starting with when he was a teenager.
I asked him when TV news became about pushing a narrative instead of journalism.
He said he's never known it not to be.
His knowledge goes back to 1960.
It is a fundamentally bad format given the disconnect that is possible between what you're told, what you're seeing, what you're hearing, and what actually happened.
However, a lot of brains can't recognize it, and because they are being presented both visual and audible ques give it a very high credibility.
