Any news over an hour or two isn't news it's fear mongering and entertainment to keep you engaged.

You hear something dozen then a hundred times and it becomes true and reality for so many people.
It can happen really fast too though. Anchoring bias is where people tend to believe the first take on an event or news item that sounds reasonable to them.
