A closer look

Welcome to the hostile media effect, where everyone thinks the umpire is blind. When a highly partisan individual reads a completely neutral, objective news report, their brain violently rejects the neutrality. Because the article doesn't aggressively validate their extreme worldview, they genuinely perceive the balanced reporting as a targeted attack by the opposition. It's a brilliant psychological flaw ensuring that no matter how fair the information is, humans will always find a way to play the victim.
