Why have most news sites either removed searching or severely hampered it's abilities since about 2016ish?

Maybe so you can’t dredge up old articles that would contradict their newer narrative? I don’t know how that stuff works, but I’m thinking like how we hear old Obama audio of him being outright against illegal immigration and Hillary calling blacks “super predators”

Archive.org has a Television archive but it's not organized and only goes back to 2009 like they are afraid of anything pre Obama coming out to he opening. News sites for the most part used to have custom search engines where you could do either a simple search or click on the advance button like the link I showed above and filter things in and out. Now most sites if they have a search engine is very basic without the advance stuff.

How did liberals go from being nerdy and geeky in the 90s/2000s making websites actually work to the best of their ability to now being the ones crashing the system. It's almost like we went thru a political shift in the party system.
