I wish there is something to say about the GOP and it's a big mess. Frankly, I don't blame them, this is their plan all along.
I blame corporations to get everything as a profit center and that includes media. Workers are there to survive (and at times, grift) instead of informing us. It was a bad decision to make TV commercialized and wish we had the BBC way of paying a one-time licensing fee each year. It's much more cheaper than the streaming packages and cable bundles here in the states.
