Most any (but not all) syndicated US media is like that. Doesn't matter which side, or if it even has a side. They are all eyeball seeking grifters. Saying whatever dumb shit, that makes the dumb shits that watch them nod and go "YEA! I agree!"
If at ANY point, you find yourself going "I agree with what they are saying" You are not watching/reading news. You are watching people making money off you by stating canned opinions that make you feel validated in your opinions about something in the news.
That exists on every side. Attention economy + validation loop is a money maker.
Much of what people watch isn't actual news, it's entertainment-driven commentary about news. For all sides and ideologies.
American Media's slogan for 90% of them out there: Is what we say right? Who cares?! Does what we say make the viewer feel they are right? That's gold right there.

Why my sources keep getting less and less  They are all slowly turning into: What do you want to hear about the news? We only say enough about whats going on, to them pivot to talking about how we/you feel about it.
Much like the shit Frant posted. It seems in the last 10+ years, media is not forming peoples opinions on stuff, its people opinions on stuff forming the media take on it.
And it's a vicious cycle of self reinforcement that it makes opinions more extreme, which makes 'news' more extreme.
I still always point out how C-SPAN is the most "We just point a camera at what's going on, no opinion and minimum overtalk from journalist" and is consistently the lowest viewer watched news outlet.
Why simply learn what going on, when you get on twitter/sky/truth and argue about how you feel about what's going on? And find your chamber that echoes the best to your ears to fight with you anytime some 'THEM' replies to you.
Granted we totally do that here (argue opinions), but different to me. This is like a small group of people privately debating. Social Media is "Let's do this middle of the road at noon. I want the world to see me pwn people"

Many Americans tend to have a strong tendency to answer questions they don't know the answer to with the first thought that enters their minds with complete certainty which only makes them come off as incredibly stupid.

I find it shocking that people have computers, laptops, phones, etc. Yet cannot be arsed to google the most basic shit before committing to a strong stance on what they call a fact.
Strong opinions on a fact, I get. But just outright wrong stuff, they are willing to die on hills is correct. When 15 seconds on your phone could tell you if it's real, or right.

Right?!
It blows my mind you have all the collective knowledge of mankind in your pocket and you hear shit like:
- I dunno I think the moon landing was fake.
- You seen where they are going to make gas cars illegal in a month?!
- I don't know anything about [X], but I don't trust it.
- You see that guy killed for making a car that ran on water for 5 billion miles a gallon?!
Some of those are exaggerations of course. But along those lines.
And I suppose some of it is from shit they find on the internet. But sometimes I feel like I'm the only one going "I just saw a thing online, and it seems sus. I'm sure I should look at at LEAST 1 other source outside the bubble where this came"
Nope, people can vomit out a video, or article. People read it first time exposed to that at all and go "Thats enough info for me, one person"
