Sure, that podcast sucks, but podcasts are generally more accessible than broadcast news. If you don’t have a TV and don’t want your data mined, the big news stations of the 20th century aren’t really an option. The medium itself isn’t the problem imo, there are lots of great news podcasts
NBC requires them, and neither ABC nor fox has a banner for me (in the eu, so either they automatically collect nothing or they break the law and don’t tell you- at least for fox, I suspect the latter is more likely, given that the UK based Murdoch news network, news.co.uk, does have a banner). CBS does not require them though, so I guess there’s that.

How are they more accessible than literally any legitimate news website?
They don’t include cookie paywalls, which most news websites do
Most newspaper websites do that. Pretty much all the TV-based ones, including Fox News, do not.
