The media (including independent media) going around pretending they're innocent for the current rise of right wing parties is both cute and disturbing.

Only at 6 and 11, although CBC radio has brief local news on the half-hour. 11PM news is mostly a repeat of the evening broadcast. Noon show is CBC NN.
I partly agree; there is nothing cute about it. They made a strategic decision to pick a side rather than provide facts in a neutral environment. It's not journalism. It's propaganda in disguise. The issue is happening in both the US and Canada. I don't know about other countries.
I'm not sure I'd put this on the traditional media. We seem to be going through a period of instability where ordinary folk the world over are disappointed with their centrist governments. Promises made - but not delivered. The eventual reset to sanity usually involves major world conflicts.
The media especially the left leaning media is 100% responsible for Trump and MAGA. They used his contoversy for viewership and in doing so normalized him and his behaviors. If they had ignored him like he deserved none of this would have happened.
