They are playing to their lowest common denominator audience. Gossip sells, this is what you get when news is judged by its ratings, not its content. And there is an echo chamber effect. When one channel talks about a "scandal" the others tend to feel they need to report on it. TYT is even guilty of this a little, but more in a way of they are reporting about how Ye Olde Tyme Media is talking about this or that meaningless scandal yada yada yada. But I don't mind, sometimes I need a little mindless drivel to veg out on.

We are a way for the cosmos to know itself.
