While this sounds very bad:
there are several likely complicating factors yet to unfold:
* more "Trump in private" disclosures to come (making no difference to Trumpists, but still influential on establishment Republicans who don't want to see a return of Trump influence?)
* Trump's personal legal problems coming to a head in the next year
* possible international tensions coming to a head, and (hopefully) being capably handled by Biden (perhaps a bit of Chinese or North Korean military sabre rattling?)
* some key right wing media figures having their own problems removing them from influence. Alex Jones is now facing several defamation law suits which may well harm his career; Rush Limbaugh will die one day. On the other hand, Fox News though is going harder right to try to get back audience from OANN and Newsmax.
I think it is impossible to overemphasis the damaging role of Fox News and the rest of the RW media universe in restoring "normal" politics again in the US.

anything Murdoch is associated is not journalism but political advocacy. It is usually based on lies and conspiracy theories.
