The News was for men, which means it was like an action movie. Lots of explosions and violence and epic stories of raw power.
As things got feminized "human interest" stories started showing up. "Human interest" meant "female interest", as if men are not human.

Great minds discuss ideas. Average minds discuss events. Small minds discuss people. -Eleanor Roosevelt
So in short, the news has gone from average-minded to small-minded. It used to be a boring and serious thing watched by boring and serious adults. Now it's middle-school gossip.
