Why not? They have been cutting back on actual journalism for years now. I get most of my news from foreign sources these days...I don't care for all of the overly partisan (on either side) "analysis"...just give me the facts about what's going on, please.

With WB in so much debt the opinion shows are WAAY cheaper to produce than hard news and get clickbait ratings that’s why the networks lean into it so much.

Having a couple guys sit around a studio in DC for a few hours is so much cheaper than hiring a journalist to fly out to Ukraine and spend a few days gathering proper news with all the travel and security costs for a few mins of content.

It’s a bleak view but that’s sorta how these channels are thinking.
