I don't think this emerged from innate conservatism or bosses' pressure.
It's their ego.

More worthy tasks include
1. Hit Dems from the left,
2. Take an extremely both-sidesy approach on every issue
3. Take a "Not Evil, Just Misunderstood" view of Trump and his voters, scolding the mainstream media for misunderstanding them.

I think you're missing one thing: Social approval.
In the Trump era, the task of fact-telling with some normie liberal opinions thrown in like Chris Matthews or Jonathan Capehart is considered lowly in Washington.

Most people don't know, but one way to make social media is to liberally use Block/Mute.
It not only gives your life peace but also reduces the reach of the account being blocked a lot.
IIRC old twitter had something like a 1 block = -86 likes ratio in the distribution algo

Dick Cheney is a war criminal who deserves to be tried in The Hague.
Dick Cheney’s endorsement of Kamala Harris is also part of what we’d want an actual popular front against fascism to look like.
