Because Corporate Media outlets have an old way of doing things. And when they try to do something 'new' it comes off as weird and out of place. No one wants to see a newsreader standing in the middle of a studio reading the news. Give that person a chair, it's weird. And why are reporters standing in dangerous storms outdoors? Corporate torture? And 'live' reporting from a dark parking lot that could be anywhere is stupid. What is happening right now? Where is the 'live' story happening? Plus the line up of on air personalities seems to be delusional. Where is the actual journalism? It disappeared 25+ years ago. Now it's just psychopaths with antiquated opinions being featured. And sensationalistic freak shows. What happened to actual news.
