11. Narrative-Market Fit:
News & commentary are products, so they follow market pressures. The more a story fits a fashion or meets a strong consumer demand, the more likely it has been crafted purely for audience engagement, and the less you should trust it.

Epidemiological estimates of national rates of iatrogenic injury (injuries induced inadvertently by doctors, treatments or diagnostic procedures) in the United States suggest that 44 to 66 serious injuries occur per 10,000 hospital visits. But in a study involving more than 200 American hospitals, only 1 per cent reported their rates of iatrogenic injury as within that range. Half of the hospitals were reporting fewer than 5 cases of injury per 10,000 hospital visits. If the epidemiological estimates were even close to accurate, the majority of hospitals were involved in industrial levels of evasion.
