This kind of selection bias applies to everything, e.g. you don't see the news stories media doesn't report on.

On some media you (partly) do tho ie. they allow more transparency. I remember (back in 2002 or so, not sure nowadays) on Indymedia they had an open publishing method. All declined articles were in a recycle bin. Admitted ones were in the newswire, starred ones in middle. HN has a "new" queue. Everything from there which does not get enough points, does not get reported, as it does not reach the front page (nor page 2). Either way it is a shitload of work to go through this manually, though.
