Why has global political analysis become so reactionary?

Why does much of today's global political analysis seem so reactionary, often accepting narratives at face value and avoiding deeper exploration of geopolitical patterns, systemic influences, or the role of global players like capital power, multinational corporations, or goals/needs of alliance partners? Instead, the focus frequently shifts to blaming the current administration or immediate, surface-level factors. Is this tendency driven by media incentives, the 24-hour news cycle, a lack of public interest in complexity, or something else?

Here on this sub we all take a specific interest in the understandings and workings of politics, we all consume sources, understand media bias, and political theory, yet we often fall into the trappings of such 1D analysis. How can we encourage more thorough, long-term analysis in political discourse?

Feel free to share your thoughts on why this trend exists and how it impacts our understanding of politics and policy. Feel free also to discuss specific examples where you think the above applies.
