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 - The Revival of a John Deere Combine - by The Red, John Fritz. For several years I had been driving by a farm house on the west side of Indianapolis that had a John Deere combine parked in high weeds in a lot behind the house. The gentleman no longer farmed because the entire area was developed with housing and light industry. I had stopped several times and knocked on the door but no one would answer. My curiosity was up and I wanted to contact the owner. I wanted to see what he planned to do with the combine.
