Not necessarily. In the late 1990s and early 2000s, left-leaning media were all over McCain's jock because he espoused real conservative ideals without mixing in tons of the contradictory bullshit of the modern GOP. Then after Bush's smear campaign against him in the 2000 primaries (it was horrible) McCain underwent some kind of transformation afterwards that brought him more or less in line with the rest of the party. I'm guessing he realized he'd be marginalized and made irrelevant by his own side unless he conformed.
That IMO marked a turning point for the American Right, because afterwards they've swung further and further to the fringes of the spectrum, to the point where they can't even really do any actual governing anymore. It's not sustainable though. There will be changes in the next 10 years.

Yeah, anyone who points out the fucking television ratings to defend the credibility of a news source is doing a pretty good job discrediting their own opinions.
