A newspaper that read more like analytical research would be more appealing. The media would benefit as a whole, and prosper, if they strove to remove the personal opinions and beliefs from their reporting.

Going with Socratic method:
Did anything else happen the last 2-3 decades? Anything that would cause tree pulp, that could charge for ads and subscribers, and thus afford to pay more and subsidize longer research, less popular?
Or is it just that the media/journalism/etc., these large faceless groups, all just universally started making opinionated content 20-30 years ago?
I'm curious: what did media/journalism looked like 50, 70, 100 years ago. Maybe I could look up newspaper front pages from back then. Was it less opinionated?
Most people want their news in the form of stories, and especially stories about people they can relate to.
