The problem with the mainstream media is that it is populated with very conventional thinkers who have no interest in challenging the boundaries of established orthodoxy.
Of course, as people turn more and more to alternative sources for information and analysis, the remaining consumers of their product tend to be an older demographic of very conventional thinkers as well.
So they are stuck with catering to a loyal but dwindling clientele who are comfortably attached to the status quo and who expect their conventional worldview to be reflected back to them by the media they consume.
