I usually find The Times to be just as bad.
"Bacon causes cancer! Breathing causes cancer! Salt causes cancer!"
and so on, and so on...
90% of our news is propaganda. Oh no! Also, freaking awesome avatar. I love me some black metal.
Now to be serious, I had a feeling most news publicaions were like many of the TES propaganda books. I mean, even avoiding the obvious stuff that isn't funny to make fun of anymore like Fox News doesn't keep away the insanity of how anything can be published. If entire books on thinking rock music or DnD is Satanic can exist, then an author masking his opinions as facts in a TES book is going to happen.(I do love black metal, though)
