I personally can’t see anything changing as long as the news is profit driven.

It's far far worse than that. The news has always been profit driven, even when journalistic standards and ethics meant something.
If profit was the only motive, you'd see them stirring the pot in such a way as to bring in as many viewers as possible. That's clearly NOT what they're doing. They don't care that they're alienating half of the country.
Corporate America, not just the media, has drunk deeply of the kool-aid that just a few short years ago we thought would only ever be imbibed on University campuses. Ideas that were quite literally laughed at just five years ago have become unquestioned wisdom now at the highest levels. Some go along with it because they're afraid of being accused of being racists or transphobes or whatever, but believe me, there's a very strong small core of true believers--and they're in the driver's seat.
