Most people that have knowledge of a news story are often incredulous reading one due to incorrect framing or outright mistakes.

More insidiously, the news is also molded by a set of institutional incentives that often results in a highly distorted picture of the world.

Which makes it even worse for Wikipedia that this kind of sources is explicitly the only kind it allows.

Wikipedia allows reframing. It uses sources for their "fact finding" function not for their "narrative setting".
