I follow whatever evidence I can find or am presented with. But, yes, there is a bias toward the evidence you describe – there’s power invested in getting me that evidence.
That said, I don’t actually watch that much TV and I’m not on the “normal” social media. I get a lot of my news here (and the wider Fediverse – big fan of 404Media and ProPublica) plus “Some More News” and “Have I Got News For You (US)” and “Last Week Tonight” YT channels. Still, I’m sure my media diet could use more attention – I know my food diet could! (For reference I’m 265 lbs. on a 5’8" frame.)
