Religion is made up of things that did not happen and have no evidence. If something does have evidence of being true, it is called history.
You are confusing obsession and focus with religion.
Truth has no relation to news and news is not about observation of fact.
Even if you witness events yourself, your understanding of what occurred is a narrative you tell, not truth.
All truths and history are interpretations within religious (or ideological) frameworks. Truth as we use the word is not attainable.
There are no exceptions to this!
Is this statement in the set of "all truths ... within religious (or ideological) frameworks" or is it an exception, as it were, to the rule?
In an ideal situation maybe, but very frequently it is manipulation. Videos are taken out of context or outright modified to fit a narrative. When you watch the complete video it is very often different than the 10 second clip shown on the so called news.

Do you believe everything in the Bible is false or just certain parts? If you believe certain parts are accurate then I don't see how it is any different than news in your view.
