"read the words in them"

Well, there's where you've gone wrong. You attempted to engage with objective reality.

I think the category error here is thinking the MSM exist now to present "news", that is, a relatively fair and factual assessment of various events.

But for the left side of the aisle, most esp the progressive aristocracy who suck daily at the teat of NYT/NPR/PBS etc, this DeSantis Fascist! beat serves first and foremost as an etiquette lesson—All Good People hate that "Don't Say Gay" Florida Man—plus as a tribal/ideological marker/shibboleth and also as a way to update crowdsourced dogma on the fly.

Not to mention that the digital Left seems to be displaying serious Projection issues, and as it's very hard for them to look in the mirror and admit that they've become censorious scolds who bowdlerize old books, inflict "sensitivity readers" on authors, and cancel anyone who contradicts sacred dogma, they've instead created this "book banning" antigay hysteria so as to blame their opponents for what they've so obviously become. (As if the Pensacola school board is as powerful as the NYT, Hollywood, the Ivy League etc. LOL)

The MSM for Left/liberals is like Tylenol—take 2 every 6 hrs to ease symptoms of cognitive dissonance.
