The media will report on anything that will get them attention and will report anything that they are told to report. If its a popular subject or will receive alot of Attention they want to report on it and of course be the first one to report on it! It makes them money!
But still, all this fake news negatively affects the psyche. Better not to read the news. It’s much calmer, there’s no general nervousness about which all news sites write. I finally breathe calmly when I stopped scrolling the news feed.
