The media knows their audience and most people (especially right wingers and centrists) are loyal to people and labels, not actual underlying ideals. So showing the depravity of R politicians doesn't "wake up" those people, it loses the network viewers.

And since companies have a fiscal responsibility to their shareholders and not any responsibility for the consumer, they do what they can to maintain eyeballs.

So they've got to maintain this middle-of-the-road narrative because people don't actually want the truth

"Even pacifist agitation or the nation-wide fever of big sports competitions acts as a spur to war fever in circumstances like ours. Any kind of excitement or emotion contributes to the possibility of dangerous explosions when the feelings of huge populations are kept inflamed even in peacetime for the sake of the advancement of commerce. Headlines mean street sales. It takes emotion to move merchandise. And wars and rumors of wars are the merchandise and also the emotion of the popular press." - The Mechanical Bride : Folklore of Industrial Man. Year 1951. Marshall McLuhan. University of Toronto.
