What is different these days is a hysterical press desperate to try and
engage us bored, media-saturated automatons.

If it's not sensational, it's not News. If it is sensational it's
done-to-death and picked over in tedious repetition for weeks afterwards.

Enough of us must lap it up I guess - for them to continue.
