You already can read multiple outlets for different perspectives. Most people don't. Why would that change?

If one is reliant on news outlets for personal G-2 intelligence work, a similar metric ought to be applied.
In the future, I predict the newspapers will be naked propagandists. If they judge that some thing someone says or does is going to be bad for their party, they will just ignore it outright or lie about it.
In 2016, Fox News had people criticizing Trump, and CNN were (unintentionally) signal-boosting him by letting him dominate the news coverage. In say 2024, I think that Fox News will fire anyone who says anything bad about the Republican nominee, and CNN will not mention them by name on air.
You're not getting this. Today this is a great description of the status quo.
If the democrats and republicans will start getting along better, you'll start seeing more balanced news. Otherwise, we may well see what you're describing.
