Its by design. Fox ‘News’ was borne out of the shame of Nixon’s resignation and the desire for an all powerful executive. They hate the American Republic and democracy in general. It’s also when the right started the southern strategy in earnest to coopt the religious and then moved to lock in SCOTUS. The strategy sadly was telegraphed for decades and dems didn’t take it seriously or rather the took money to look the other way. And here we are today with possibly the worst set of GOP leaders history has produced led by the worst President of all time tearing the US apart.
Then also throw in the destruction of the Fairness Doctrine, and in 10 or so years, AM radio is now full of bombastic asshole hypocrite white guys, all charity cases sponsored by usually mostly the oil lobby, paid to be propogandists.
‘Corporate money is free speech’ was the absolute death knell, the point of no return.
The longterm Republican strategy has been to destroy public education and replace it with their own forms of education and general public facing ‘information’.
Because they know idiots are easier to lie to and emotionally manipulate… because they actually hate democracy, and know that democracy cannot work with a stupid, angry, short tempered public.

This unfortunately, truth nuke, we need to bring back the fairness doctrine and create legislation called the truth and honesty doctrine
As long as we’re not all dead, there’s no such thing.
Gonna have to stop you there…
