This is true of any news source that consistently hits certain narratives. Regular viewers will inevitably begin thinking those narratives are a bigger issue than they thought previously. How many foreigners are afraid to visit the United states because they fear getting shot or abducted by ICE, despite extremely low risk of either happening? It's because of where they get their news. The only way to mitigate this is to get news from diverse sources and to talk with lots of different people.
