Similarly but slight tangent, a local newspaper journo here fished for & published bad news stories about our estate. I offered good news stuff to counter this, not even a reply to my message. Her reporting maintains the perception that all is problematic on our estate, and doesn't reflect community efforts to make it better. Shaping the story.
This is shaping the story. I mean, I'd call it pursuing a particular agenda, but it's the same thing. Lack of balance to present a story in a particular way. Unfortunately that's most journalism these days.

There's power in suggestion, if she'd wanted to resign on the telly she'd maybe have contacted him upfront? I presume he didn't then interview her about why she wasn't resigning? Shaping the story.
