Anecdotally, I find this to be true as well. My TV watching father in law is suddenly telling wifeanon that the news doesn’t tell you everything. He used to get riled up about whatever their story of the day was. It helps that his wife is a nurse at a hospital where absolutely nothing is happening.
He actually said the news did so many stories about the hospital putting up tents to handle “overflow”, and the same news never mentioned that the tents went a unused and were quietly taken down.
