I just wish there wasn't so much sectarianism on fedi. Or maybe it's a good thing that this kind of social dynamic is possible in online world. I don't really know.

It's as important what they don't report on. Or the heading placements and wether the story gets burried after half a day. News organizations and politics are heavily connected. In my country it's very common to go from journalist to member of parliment or PR staff.
Canadian antivax protests come to mind. They froze transfers in support of the movement. It was a popular move back then but the same mechanism can be used in other instances as well.
