1) Because people who work in the establishment media themselves are fucked up enough to not see the shit they're reporting is equally - if not more so - fucked up as they are or the media itself.
2) They think that their audience finds this as normal as they do.
Me? I find all of this truly fucked up. Or a term to describe this is - neoliberalism.

... under neoliberalism, every problem is understood through an individualist lens, and not a result of systemic forces that dominate society. To be clear, there are elements of triumph over adversity or impressive and admirable feats in these stories, but they occur in a neoliberal framework that forces them into these actions, and that framework is never questioned. The fact that the media, unable to look past their own ideological biases, do not explore these most basic issues, instead presenting these stories as human interest pieces, goes to show how engulfed in ideology they really are.
