What you see on the news is not reality, it's a 2nd, 3rd, 4th or 5th account of what happened.
A report or a claim on reality filtered by:
-facts allowed to be presented
-framing
-bias
-incentive...
@nprofile1q... Yep. It usually is what someone that more or less controls the outlet would like people to believe. Or what whomever/whatever the outlet has to please would like people to believe.
