For comparison, re: news coverage of the economy
Since news outlets are always "touting their economic foresightedness and keen analysis," why do they publish headlines that contain the clickbaity adjective "surprising" to describe every latest economic report, especially when all previous data pointed to the outcome that the new report is merely summarizing? Perhaps because the media outlet has "invested" in some other "narrative" that doesn't track with the facts. And perhaps they write "political horse-race coverage" so they tend to use the framing of "What do voters think?" more often than they investigate facts. Either way, they move from one "groupthink exercise" to another. ("A perpetually surprised media isn’t doing its job," Jennifer Rubin, Washington Post opinion, July 7, 2023
