The funny thing is that newspapers often started that way in the US. The reason you would often see the <Town/City Name> Democratic/Republician Gazzette newspapers? Because the ones who could afford to publish small town news were political parties. They did wear their motives explicitly and the eras were hella corrupt but it has precedent.

But my example was precisely about lack of differing opinions. The issue there was consensus in media, that made it look like there is clear agreement of experts about something where it was not the case.
