I have been noticing many issues with the news in recent years. While, say 1 or 2 decades ago, I would turn to the news for facts, nowadays I see so much rubbish, that I think that the free press has some issues. As an example I would like to use a not so obviously politicized situation in Hong Kong a while back. It is politicized, but you will not know it. I am using HK, because my wife is from there and at that time the press was still free, while the CCP was trying to get the mass demonstrations (up to 2 million, 25% of the population) that wanted universal suffrage.
This article shows a mob attack during a oeaceful sit in at Yuen Long metro station:

CNN covered the article. Ofcourse it is significant that demonstrators are suddenly attacked by a mob of Triade members.l (all in white). It points to a connection between the CCP and organised crime.
In Chinese state media, the Triade was shiwn as victims of evil demonstrators for evil democracy. It was, in part, to ward off visitors from mainland China. Out of fear of demand for freedom spreading. Here, it is shown as logical that upstanding citizens beat those troublemaking protestors:

This is propaganda for western law abiding foreigners. So that the peaceful protests look like a small group of dissidents, like every country sees sometimes.
Comoared to that, CNN is much better. However, there is a key detail that everyone knows, but that CNN follows the propaganda on:
CNN wrote: Protesters were reportedly at the mercy of the mob for almost an hour before police arrived and at least 45 people were injured, some seriously

While in reality, the police purposefully walked away. Proving the complicity of the CCP.

There are better movies, but my batteries are running low.
Missing this key point, for an agency like CNN, which should be world class is significant. I see it all the time nowadays. Is it by mistake? Is it repeated without thinking? Is it on purpose, to get paid?
Has any one here ever noticed something similar to this? Or any other issue in the news in recent years?
