Biased, if not corrupt network news directly led to "designer news." It makes little difference if it comes from a desire to please a market or from prejudices seeping out even subconsciously.
It's not even so much the fairness of the journalism, but what is given the most coverage and what is given less. Much is driven by what equals good ratings, but ideology also plays a very significant role.
There is no answer for this.
We are bombarded by so much conflicting information, the "truth" we choose to believe is that which conforms best to our own opinions.
