I try to explain to people to try to single out the facts in any given article or publication but it rarely gets anywhere. Even reporting on emotionally neutral things like science seems written in a way that deliberately leads to false implications.
"Recent studies show that... <insert conclusion here>" becomes fact in the mind of the reader. So you can draw your own conclusions on what happens with politically charged subjects.
