I've been silent for 21 months of genocide, but this one editorial criticizing Israel will prove I've always been on the right side of history (www.thebeaverton.com)

I think it's likely an organic move which happened despite all of the forces you mention, due to massively changing public sentiment informed by alternate sources outside of their control. I think if the media was able to keep pro-Palestine sentiment low, we wouldn't be seeing any of this flip. Basically they have no choice but to flip or lose even more of their power to propagandize. Which I guess could have come down from the top, but such a directive still probably happened because of what I mentioned.

I think things are just going to be so so so bad tht politicians know they need to get ahead of it.

My favorite part of your comment is that it will piss off all of the tankies trying to create discordance and feelings oppression.
