Well, yes and no.
There have always been Media outlets with a particular view on subjects - The Guardian for example, however they have been clear about their Bias.
There have been Media outlets that have proported to be neutral - the BBC for example.
In the last decade, the Biased ones have become even more so and the ones that claim to be Neutral have become increasingly Blatant about it.
The prevailing theory is that the changes in the way that News is consumed has caused a shift towards sensationalism and bias.

Well, I disagree - I think it's more to do with the shift left in the Universities, which produces the career journalists, who then go to work at the organisations, which normalises left-leaning thought, which allows the Universities to shift even further left, which produces more career journalists etc.
I think it's more of a Feedback loop.
The explosion in Popularity of 'Alternative Media' shows that the General Public is only too aware of the blatant manipulation, which is why they aren't consuming it as their primary news source.

Interesting.
So, nothing to do with any "prevailing philosophy" already active at the
news organisation, enforced by editors on owners behalf, and reinforced
by journalists learning "what is expected" (and becoming "self managing"
or collect their pink slip) ?
What about right-wing media organisations, who might choose to recruit
more right-wing leaning candidates ?
If this "decreasing spiral" model you expound actually worked, surely then
left-wing media organisations would become progressively more left-wing,
right-wing media organisations would become progressively more right-wing
- and there would be none left in the middle ?
Have to say that it sounds a little like those birds that supposedly fly
in ever-decreasing circles. Until they disappear ...
It's Certainly a factor - consider this, how many Hardcore left-wing Jouralists are likely to apply to work at The Guardian vs Breitbart?
There's been a fair amount of study on this - The Right wing hasn't moved substantially in their policies over the last 20-30 years, there has been some shift (especially with the influence of Liberalism into Right-wing politics).
Whereas the Left wing has moved very far-left in the same time period.
Who is in the Middle? The only person(s) I can think of would be Tim Poole, possibly Joe Rogan as well (although as a Podcasts he's not really 'news').
Well, traditional media is on the Decline, so...
