Unfortunately getting this one to rhyme is too hard, so I'll just spell it out.
My prefix was yours but is now ours
My infix is both a sea animal and a musician
My suffix is a place you might lose a shoe
I am something that is in the news almost every day
The first 3 clues are all pop culture references, but they are quite well-known

I'm pretty sure you're
BASEBALL.
My prefix was yours but is now ours
All your base are belong to us. You have no chance to survive make your time.
My infix is both a sea animal and a musician
I confess I don't know this one. Maybe SEB (there's a Sebastian in "The Little Mermaid", apparently, and there must be lots of musicians of that name)?
My suffix is a place you might lose a shoe
BALL, as identified by El-Guest.
I am something that is in the news almost every day
Indeed it is, if you're in the US. And arguably BASEBALL is America's favourite sport.

The musician referenced in the infix was intended to be rot13(wbunaa fronfgvra onpu) but there are numerous possible correct answers there.

The suffix is right, the rest is wrong (including the final answer). Unlike the other Rileys I've made today, this one is not a proper noun.
– Ertai87
Sep 13 at 17:45
You are on the right track though by thinking that the answer could be described as "America's favourite xxx" for some value of xxx but you need to figure that part out on your own ;-)
– Ertai87
Sep 13 at 17:47
Also, this one does not use homophones (I would have said if it did).

The suffix is right? I thought for sure I had the infix rather than the suffix haha
