Sites like Lemmy and Reddit are structurally designed to share mainstream media and the corporate media machine has adapted to shovel into them.
I would wager a growing number of people get their news from podcasts, YouTube, TikTok, etc. Even on Reddit I doubt many are doing more than read the submission title. Personally, NPR, NYT and WP have lost me as subscribers over the last year with their blatantly manipulative and misleading shenanigans. The same is true among my broader circle of IRL people. So it could be a bubble but others have talked about this.
In particular the DNC realized for half a moment that their typical method of carefully controlling mainstream media coverage isn't working. You can trace it all back to Biden's disastrous debate performance and then the cheerleading that Harris was winning. Corporate media just is not even remotely credible anymore and everyone knows it.
But to get back to my original comment, what I said is the people still reading mainstream corporate media don't care about the details talked about in the OP. They mostly just seem to lob article titles at each other in some dumb game of dodgeball where winning matters more than facts. The articles themselves have become complete trash.
