I do not understand all that is going on
But do believe in free-speech, and would fight to keep it.
Free speech and free vote, keep us free, many people have fought and die for dictators, so just being brave and violent, does not keep us free.
I do think people need to be fined in a big way for using the justice system to push lies,
If they sue to advertise their lies, and have no real evidence, they would have to pay, for a media retraction, and all the lawyers and court fees.

There is a one word answer to your query. "MONEY". Media stokes the flames that bring listeners/viewers which, in turn, brings advertisers' money. Politicians stoke the flames that bring donors to their campaigns... and money. Politicians aren't going to legislate against the biased media because if they do, they might have to legislate against their own money grabs.
Look at the SCOTUS. Now at least 4 of them involved in grifting schemes that should be... are... illegal. They won't change it themselves. Congress won't change it because they, themselves, are involved in similar schemes.
Today's U.S. is totally controlled by money, not patriotism... not loyalty to the oaths people take... not the rights of the People... not protecting people at church, school, shopping malls......

Amen! It's true. The love of money can be, and many times is, the root of all evil.
