How reductive! I don't know what your qualms are with TikTok, but I can't imagine that decades of news media driven primarily by soundbites just as short as your average TikTok video can be seen as a superior "narrative delivery vehicle" ...unless you really place a premium on a corporate media bias influenced by pharmaceutical companies and the military industrial complex.

That's dying quickly. The NYT has more subscribers than CNN has viewers. Once you add the number of people who read NYT articles for free, the difference is massive.
