If you only get your information from the mainstream media then you will only know what they want you to know!
We went to see The Incredibles 2 in the movie theater last night and I thought it was interesting that at the beginning they touched on this idea. Very carefully, they suggested that the mainstream media was only showing information that would give the public a negative feeling about superheroes. Then, an entrepreneur in the movie suggests that they change the Public's perception by offering the other side of the story that the news was not portraying.
The exact same thing is going on today and this is why Trump calls the news 'fake news'. Mainstream media like CNN, NBC, etc. shape the public opinion by only giving the public what they want them to see. A perfect example of this can be seen in how they are talking about illegal immigrants being separated from their children during Trump's presidency. However, this happened during Obama's presidency also and was never mentioned by the media.
