I feel like that has to do with people gravitating to social media sites,
especially those that echo their own beliefs, for social interaction that
they don't get on news sites.
 
Also, someone pointed out a while back that many news sites have paywalls
while "news" sites that cater to one or other side of the political spectrum
do not.
