It is very telling that you can't see this and instead fall back onto a tired argument of "commercial interests are killing us"

This. I commend some of the realizations she's come to, but she still seems both naive and just trying to rationalize things to herself in a lot of it. Probably because she still sees those people as part of her "tribe".

Like, she mentions that she didn't like how MSNBC was stoking division in the country, that her bosses are purposefully omitting context and facts from their reporting, and laments that our educational system doesn't seem to teach critical thinking skills anymore. She says she's heard the producers claim they're not even trying to be journalists. She also mentions that a lot of content was chosen based on what's trending online that day (trends which are proven to be heavily manipulated).

It doesn't seem to cross her mind that all those things are intentional. She thinks it's simple negligence and misguided profit chasing. Not that her bosses didn't want to report the facts, encourage critical thinking, encourage unity in the country, or deviate from the approved social media trends because they're propagandists instead of journalists.

I can, at least, agree with her though that the system should change and it would be nice if journalists actually reported real news again.
