A lot of advertisers are drug companies and health insurance companies so they love fear mongering over everything, not just covid. The election related things they labeled as misninformation have to be seen in the way every large financial power lined up behind Biden-- well behind Bloomberg really-- and they could not let anything get in the way of their investment in the election.

I think the way Bed Bath and Beyond removed Mike Lindell's products from their stores shows there is more to big business than just selling things or advertising the way we think of it. The news and talk-news industry has always chosen propaganda and sticking to an ideological narrative even when they knew it would cost audiences. Business at those levels does not work the way it does at the level of a hot dog truck, burrito stand, independently owned hardware or paint store does. That might have something to do with the fact that the money is not real, not in the same way it is for some business paying bills each month, but that is a different topic.
