Journalism-as-confirmation is only used by people who have a strong conviction.
There are lots and lots of people undecided about an issue, reading some journalistic drivel. They are most easily influenced on that undecided issue.
Fortunately, most journalism is useless for information transmission and likely rarely alters behaviour - the latter having been chosen first with the journalism being used as justification. To that degree, the fact that most journalists are usually low quality information sources is not particularly dangerous since you never use them to do anything different from what you'd do.
