I don't recall where I got the numbers about the media not producing content at the same level as they once did. However, even if it's still 9th/10th grade that's still greatly below the reading level of laws, acts, gov regs, and so on.

i don't think the channel is the differentiating factor here. for example, i never watch cnn, but for some reason i tuned into cnn during the world cup soccer finals , they were doing a major cover story on an octopus that predicts the winner of the world cup, that is not news, yet it was on cnn.
see what i am saying? the line between entertainment and news today is blurry. news shows are just as concerned with ratings as the "entertainment" shows.
