I think that is the crux of it aside from readers having little expectations of being informed for these reportings, it also seems that the news outlets no longer have viable revenue models that allow them to staff to the level it would take to write proper articles which is why the Toronto Star was the best out of them.
Will point out that CBC does take a lot of revenue from us collectively and this low effort type of reporting is become very common for them. That’s addition to clearly trying to pander certain crowds with titles like this
The CBC does a remarkably good job considering how their budgets have been repeatedly cut, relative to inflation, at the same time that their ad revenue has been in stay decline (same as everyone else).

I would file this under socialized things Liberals slowly ruined and Conservatives threaten to destroy the second they get in power.
