I understand what you are saying, and agree with you, to a point.
That said I understand the concept your conveying, but view it a little differently, and still think the numbers are reversed as I first stated.
As far as the X vs X plus, I think what you are calling the plus is just the spin I see some putting on X to make it fit their agenda. To me, the plus is actually putting X into context, rather than reporting only the parts that fit a certain agenda.
The fact 10 are reporting nothing but X gives the information creedence it wouldn't have otherwise. As a result, when 2 report X again, and add the plus by putting it into context, it gives the impression you expressed that the 2 are the outlyers, rather than being more or less centered.
There is an old saying that if you repeat a lie enough times, it'll be thought of as the truth.
Having 10 repeat lies, and half truths enough eventually gives that lie the feel of truth to many. That makes it far easier to point to the 2 and say they are the ones lying, just as your analysis suggests happening.
When you control the media, you can control the narrative. When you control the narrative, you control public opinion. When you control public opinion, you control society.
Personally, when I watch ten stations parrot exactly the same thing, it tends to make me view things one way. When I watch two others that tell me the same thing, then add in info the others left out that puts the information into a perspective 180 degree from what the others did, it makes me question the ten, not the two.
Sadly, too long many wouldn't question the ten, for the reasons I stated.... Fortunately, many are finally waking up, and starting to question....and that typically results in people asking questions like the one that started this thread.

Today's Featured Article - Trailering Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. One of the fun things of summer and fall are the parades and tractor shows that go on across America. Many owners of tractors travel long distances to attend these shows and they usually take their restored iron along with them. Safe trailering practices and inspections will ensure that the event is a fun one. A good habit to develop when using a trailer is to give that �quick look over� before taking it on a trip.
