For sure, that's why it's also healthy to have a broad and diversified news media covering important issues. It's also why I worry about the centralization and collapse of local journalism; it's the boots on the ground who are best able to contextualize a story when it goes from local to national.

I think confirmation bias could be looked at through this lens. We have an internal story that makes sense to us, and we tend to give more weight to data that fits our internal story (narrative) and discard the rest. I don't know really, I'm more thinking out loud here than trying to present The Truth.
