This is about narratives. Tons of facts are out there in the wild, waiting to make enough noise that they hit the mainstream press, when they pick up each others stories and it goes global. A single tweet from way back can do this. This is why the press has so much power, ultimately, they decide where 1 billion eyeballs will be pointed (and where they won't). For this reason I check the headlines from a lot of different sources; it's amazing what doesn't get picked up.
