Which sources do you want, like examples? You know the examples. Something happens that goes against their schizo editorial line: either they find another scandal to distract from it, or they find the one expert that can twist the story to make it look good (e.g. climate deniers, antivaxxers)? They may produce an artificial controversy to pretend that there is disagreement among them. Multiple contradictory narratives aimed at different subaudiences that disagree with each other and plain manufactured stories...but I don't watch it that much.

And since I don't know who I'm talking to, there is no point in investing too much time into this. But if you read Habermas and Rorty, you could try to see what I mean...or not... :)

Okay, now provide a source that, say, twisting news stories to look good is a part of postmodernist philosophy.
