News is, by definition, unusual or impactful.

  Right, the deception part is implying that the unusual is usual. The news could make lightning strikes seem like a big problem if they wanted to. "Yet another lightning strike kills couple in Wyoming leaving behind 2 kids as politicians gridlocked on lightning policy." "Yet another alcohol-related crash kills family of 5 as politicians gridlocked on alcohol policy." "Yet another <tragic event> happens due to <guns/covid/abortion policy/drug war/etc.> as politicians gridlocked on <agenda> policy."
